ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is an automated milking parlor in which cows are directed from an entry area through prep stalls where they are prepared for milking and on to milking stalls where they are machine milked, by automated stall gates, feeders and washing devices substantially all of which are pneumatically operated and controlled. The milking parlor has two banks, each with one prep stall and three milking stalls, all operated by a single milker from a pit between the banks. A pneumatic logic circuit sequences and actuates the operation of all stall gates, and prevents cows from being released from the prep stall until they are fully prepared for milking and a milking stall is available. Milk received by the milking machines is piped directly to storage facilities at the exit end of the parlor, and milking machines which automatically release when the milk from the cows stops are used to actuate appropriate portions of the operation sequencing.
