milking parlors

Bovine extraction facilities

Milking parlors are specialized facilities where dairy cows are brought to be milked, as opposed to being milked in their stalls.

The design allows cows to enter in groups and stand in elevated positions while workers operate milking equipment from a pit below: The farm upgraded to a rotary milking parlor that handles sixty cows at once.

Also spelled milking parlours.
