ABSTRACT:
In a milking cluster (10) for a dairy animal (12), a milk hose positioner (62) bears against the parlor curb (24) and supports the milk hose (48) and applies in combination with the milk hose (48) a forward force to the milking claw (28) to better balance weight distribution on the teats (16). The positioner (62) stays on the milk hose (48) when the teatcups (34) are removed from the teats (16) and the milking cluster (10) is moved from its milking position. The positioner can move forwardly and laterally to accommodate animal movement.
