Workers milk 6,000 cows three times a day at Butler County Dairy. This milking parlor holds two rows of 45 stalls. A second parlor is adjacent to the first. From a holding area beyond the parlor, cows file into the stanchions above the heads of the workers. When they’re done, the cows file as a group back to their pens. It takes 45 minutes to move a group of more than 300 cows from the pen to the parlor and back.
