Stabliofarmer Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Thanks for clearing that up Graham, really informative, I'd tracked down the company but couldnt quite work out the process and thought that it was sand deposited by the seperator not manure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

graham Posted March 23, 2017 Author Share Posted March 23, 2017 thought I would just put some pics up of this job we been on never done one of these milking parlours before so something different it is a standard milking parlour but with the steel work that keeps cows in position ,this will lift up to allow cows to exit it is sequential bailing so pit a few pics up as we progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
