ABSTRACT:
A milking parlor of the type having an entry gate has a plurality of sequencing gates mounted on pedestals at substantially the same height with the gates overlapping, but not touching. A biasing arrangement that urges the sequencing gate to a closed position is mounted coaxially and inside the pedestal supporting the sequencing gate. A wedge-shaped positioning device is mounted on the rotating gate to urge the cows into the proper milking position, and an automated system detects the end of the milking process and the positioning of the last cow to automatically open and close the entry gate.
