For
larger dairies (>100 cows) free stall housing is the
system of choice. Herein, cows are permitted to move
freely between resting, eating, and milking areas. Grouping
cows by production level, feeding high quality ‘ total
mixed rations' (TMR), and up to 3 times a day milking
(3X) or increasingly common (4X) in a parlor or robotic milking stations assures maximum
milk harvesting per man hour of invested labor. |
