Herringbone Sheds
A herringbone set-up can be the most efficient and economical solution for milking commercial herds. Typically a herringbone system needs a smaller building footprint than a rotary platform, which may can be important for some farms. In a herringbone system cows stand on an elevated linear platform in an angled or herringbone manner facing away from the operator area. This exposes the udder of the cow to allow access to milk the cow from the side as well as room for a cup remover and associated equipment.
