ABSTRACT:
Many cows are simultaneously loaded onto a stationary car that is thereafter moved to a milking station. The time for the car to move from a loading station to the milking station exceeds the time while the car is at the milking station. The distance between the loading and milking stations exceeds the length of each of several such cars that traverse a path between the stations. The cars move from the milking station to an animal discharging station and then back to the loading station. Teats are cleaned and dried at stations between the loading and milking stations. Each car is broadside of the path at the loading and discharging stations so the cows have equal access to and from stalls of cars at the loading and discharging stations. Each car includes an excrement catcher that is raised as the cows enter the stalls. Two such paths share an operator at a loading area and another operator at two side-by-side milking areas.
