Herringbone Dairy Barn Systems

The herringbone dairy barn system is one of the most popular types of parlors. In this type of design, the cows enter and stand next to each other, facing away from the milking operator's pit at an angle. The herringbone parlors are located on the end of a rectangular holding area allowing cows to enter single file directly into either side of the parlor. On completion of milking, rapid exit design allows all cows to exit at once past the holding area, expediting the milking process.
