ABSTRACT:
An implement for milking an animal, such as a cow, that provides for sensor guided, automated attachment of teat cups to the teats of the animal's udder. Following attachment to the udder the teat cups are released from the attachment member and remain connected only by a flexible connection to the carrier during the milking operation, the flexible member permitting limited movement by the animal. Upon completion of the milking operation, tension is applied to the flexible connection and the teat cup is reseated on the attachment member.
