Have both a left and right exit,

Was doing a hoof trimming course lately and the lads there were say they see more issues with cows feet where exits are to the left or right and less issues where they exit out the end of parlour. The cows on the row nearest the exit have a tighter turn to make and are spinning around on their hind feet more than the cows on the other side and they are creatures of habit and the same cows will nearly always be on the same side. Just thought it might be of interest to you but it might not suit to have an exit out the end

Good decision going left , get a simple drafting system set up at the door to get yourself going , I wouldn’t put in stall work or a parlor at 3 foot spacing I think they are a bad job and I would prefer 2 foot 6 personally so be carefull what you are buying if buying a seccond hand machine . I would build the pit as long as possable and leave room for a few extra units so as an extension is easy down the line not to be busting concrete and changing things I’ve never met a man who left space for more units that regretted it

U have to be put in a robot milking palor only way to go going forward 😊

Good job

Have a great time at the wedding tonight. Im looking forward to seeing you in the parlour. Take care.

Good man kieran, shaping up to be a fine job,great progress

The man that 🎉told you bring cows out to the left is bang on our only go out through the cubicle and it's a bollix cow flow is very poor

Great job. Fair play 👌

Just on where the cows are coming out Kieran, would you be better off putting the slot in the wall at both sides, at least then when you calve down in January or February and cows are still inside for that month or 2 you can keep the dry cows separate with a gate in between the 2 cubicle sheds

You are making great progress. Enjoy the wedding.

For keep the place clean and less water the catch I would put the exit inside. And you will have the scrapers to keep it clean.

That’s a better way for cows to leave the parlour, less chance of slipping and you could put a drafting system there in the future.

Great progress well done 👏

Best of luck keep going

Please be careful with bull i had to rescue a man from a bull one day he is living and well. But i sAid AI from now on.

Enjoy the wedding Keiran nice to get update on building coming out well heifers looking really well👍👍🤑🤑🥛🥛

Great progress being made. Enjoy yourselves at the wedding

What breed of bull are you running with them?

Making massive progress Well done and continued success

Good stuff

well done your doing great

Old net from last years bales on top of the bales held in place by a tyre keeps crows off the bales

Good idea to hav an option of the cows goin straight out during summer or back to the shed during the winter. U dont want cows goin thru the shed during summer

Are u keeping on your job when u start milking ?? Id say keep it on for a while till u get goin if u can

Good man plough on. All the people who say dont do it wil never do any thing them selves and there just gelous. Ull only ever regret things u didnt do in life

Might be worth scanning now, see how many in calf anfd tail paint the rest to see if bull.mounts them.

Hope the build goes smoothly. Haircut looks good 👍

Great job . Hope to do a tank and shed here too. Any tips for me

Great to see the progress, let the hair down at the wedding and have a session , god knows we all need a blowout every now and again

Super job having the slats pre grooved

Beautiful ❤

Hi, i have gone milking and im on my second year iv done mush same.as yourself. I started with 30 calves fo year one and 30 for the 2nd year. I put in a new parlour second hand tank. And i made my cubicals with 6×3 timber and it worked out with second hand auto scraper. The price of things have jumped so best of luck.

Well done Kieran. Great job. Looking forward to seeing the finished product

Great job best of luck with the project. You will be surprised what amount of filling it will take to back fill.

Put in new cubicles they might look ok but when cow's start pushing up against the old ones they start to brake and put in comfort mats

Kieran, fair play to you going all in.. it’ll be worthwhile when you’re putting the first cluster on a kicking heifer next year 😂 all the very best

Agitation point will have to be be at each end as you'll have to roof the tank before the end of 27 and you can't have agitating point indoors nowadays, but maybe tank being done a few years before the roof might allow it

Great vid. Great to see your plans coming together 🫱🏻‍🫲🏼 I put up a 6 bay shed 2 years ago, same dimensions as yours. Definitely agree with you about agitation point In middle. It's one regret I have I have 2 at either end but one in the middle would have been ideal

Id put agitation point at both ends,when you have the stone it would be easy to build up to it,keep up the good work

Best of luck

Making headway. Any sump in tank?

Say's the man who hasn't got the first one finished 😂😂😂😂😂😂 like it Kieran,

Great to see , Good stuff

Looks good. Only thought is that would tractor scraping the passages make more sense and be cheaper also as it’s straight into the tank wouldn’t take too long?

I milked cows for 45 years my advice to you is get a job there is full employment , you will have only slavery to banks and the co/ op, crippled before your time.

Delighted for you Kieran and thank you for recording the exciting journey.

Really good video, really enjoyed it. Keep up the good work
