- In today's video i got the chance to milk in one of the biggest/best parlour i have ever been in.
One ticked off the bucket list defiantly. What an incredible farm and the growth in the last 17 years has been insane.
A huge well done to Richard and Simon and thank you both for having me round.
Hope you guys enjoy the video!

Privileged to see this farm in operation, spent many years milking cows, abreast parlours and herringbone. Those cows are the cleanest I have ever seen. Great family great set up.
In 1966, i worked a 50 cow shed with buckets on a vacuum line. All of these parlours are a world away.
Cows really do seem to reflect their owners personality, Richard’s cows seemed so calm ,just like him. A wonderful set up, low stress. Bravo to you all.❤️❤️👍🐄🐄🐄
We just don’t appreciate the farmers enough for what they do, it’s not just a job it’s a life of dedication and worry for very little compared to any other kind of living, thanks for all you give us your all amazing beings.
Even with that amount of cows that's one of the cleanest farms I've ever seen.
Anyone tempted to think cows are "dumb" animals, that have to be driven and abused to exploit them, needs to watch this. They're willing participants that are quite comfortable with their lives. Cueing up 3 times a day, they quietly walk onto this machinery and stand to be milked, without even the incentive of food reward. There is no better picture of a contented cow, than these girls calmy chewing their cud and looking quite curious about what's going on around them.
Great video impressive 👏👏
They suffer if they don’t get milked .. amazing animals ❤
That's because people confuse docile with dumb.
There willing participants because they are trained with food 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
And as most women know when the tits get full it #$/=÷_< Hurts. They are female that's why they are smart.
Absolutely 💯 love cows!
Brilliant video Tom. I'm no farmer and 60yrs old but I find farming fascinating. But why I love watching your videos is because you tell us knowing most of your viewers are not farmers. So you explain it so we do understand.
Without farmers we don't have food or milk and most people don't think about that. I wish more people would support farmers cause you all get a rotten deal, in my opinion.
Take care, give Ginge a thank you too 🐄🐮🐄🐮🐄🐮🐄
same here
☺️
I’m no farmer but I found that so interesting. Thank you.
Several farms around here uses sand bedding and has a sand recycling system. They don't scrape too often because each alley is flushed with 1000s of gallons of water every 10 minutes. The sand is filtered & "washed" and it dries very clean and reused many times. All the manure goes through digesters which produces methane which is burned by generators to produce electricity for the dairy. They also have most buildings covered with solar panels. They actually sell excess electricity back to the grid because they produce so much per day. The water eventually (after about 12-15 "reuses" gets pushed to the field irrigation system. There is no runoff.
That rotary station is AMAZING! The cows form such a polite Que 🤣😂🤣.
I am as you say gobsmacked! That many cows three times a day and that enormous amount of milk above their old way of milking. It boggles the mind. I love the mechanics of the rotary parlor. Please continue these visits to other parlors we always find something new or at least done differently to learn from.
My wife's older sister married into what is now the largest dairy farm in Wisconsin U.S.A. I know their Carousel holds 100 cows and last I heard they are milking around 5,000. I wish I knew more so I could share. I have seen the cows leisurely walking in large groups waiting for their turn on the Carousel. Peaceful and stress free. Keep up the great work.
Martin and his family are lovely people great to see the parlour as I only live down the road. Those boys know how to work hard. I think they only stop to go to sleep 💤.
That was a bloody impressive operation, run by a very knowledgeable and able family 👍
What a fantastic operation, a fantastic family, and a fantastic vid. Can see why you were so excited about it Tom
The per cow output is mind-blowing. Contented cows give good milk. 😊👍👍
Amazing video.
Cows are spotless, credit to the lads
It's fascinating to watch the rotary milkers do their thing! I ran across Derrick Josi's videos earlier this year - his dairy farm, part of the Tillamook co-op in Oregon, uses one - and I learned a lot about them from watching his content. What was really interesting to me was that it is so easy to train the new heifers to the rotary even without the lure of an extra treat of feed while they take a spin, and he occasionally has a rider who decides to go for another circuit instead of backing out, even with the 'nudger' at the end of the rotation that encourages the dawdlers to exit. 😄 Loved all the extra info I learned from this video - thanks Tom! ❤🐮❤🚜
Derrick’s setup is something else, he said one day it started as a drawing on the fridge in 2014, $6M later, a gorgeous setup, and out of the floodplain which is always a plus in Oregon.
What a stunning bunch of cows- such amazing condition-they must be doing something right!
they are doing everything right
Thoroughly enjoyed today's video. What a set up!!
I don't think the word 'WOW' was used enough....... Cheers for the vid Tom..... :-D
That was Awesome Tom. Bet Georgia was pleased when you buggered off 🙂
Those cows are clean enough to show straight out the parlour. Theyre gorgeous
Congrats on your new baby boy! Harvey Jon Andrew Pemberton 🎉
It's good to see how other farm's work and to get ideas.
Yes Tom love it keep all your hard work up and pls don’t give up TH-cam for a long time unless u want to business pls do more long videos up to 30 min long
Really fantastic seeing how different farms operate, should be a TV serious where you go visit milking farms all around the world.
A few years ago I got the chance go round the Duke of Westminster estate ( over your side of the country) can’t just remember but sure they milked over 2000 cows. Each shift did one and a half milking. They filled an artic milk tanker trailer parked in the yard, driver swapped an empty one for a full each time😳 they do tours so sure they would welcome a TH-cam visit.
I worked on dairy farms in the 1960's 70s' & 80's , the largest one in the 80's had three farms around 1000 acres milking 600 cows and rearing all the followers. I felt that was a large concern .BUT THIS IS ON ANOTHER LEVEL!!!! AMAZING. And as already mentioned really CLEAN COWS.
What an udderly fantastic video Tom. Something to aspire to towards.
This has to be the best video you have done in my opinion, Iv milked cows for Over 30 years an this must be one of the best productive farms Iv seen . The milk yields are staggering. Well done Tom you smashed this video .
Quite impressive. But when I look at your old videos and compare to you latest ones, WOW!!!!! What an operation. You have much to be proud of!!!
Thanks Peggy ☺️
You need to come to New Zealand mate 650 is considered a relatively small herd over here. there are farms milking upwards of 1600 cows twice a day it would blow your mind man
People who are not from a farming back ground would not realise that its 7 days aweek all year no days off . My dad milked 14 cows with buckets with clusters on them for years then had a pipeline system in and was a world of difference that was before parlours were around.
Wow, that’s impressive. So relaxed as well. It’s nice to have the work come to you with the rotary table.
So very similar to my cousins set up, the alleyway they walk back down is via a foot bath for when its needed
I love a well structured and organized farm.
Richard , Tom may have slowed you down but thank you so much for Showing us how the rotary works.. I wondered why the cows kept picking up their feet ?
Wow,wow,wow,wow.A rotating parlour
Ad that right there is why the Holstein cow is the best there’s nothing to touch her when looked after and fed right!!
Well Tom i think with the amount of wow`s you found that very impressive 😲, because i sure did and thats just watching it on a screen 👍👍
Cool Parlor! That teat washer is fantastic and no paper towel usage.
Wow Tom you always have such interesting videos. Love when you show us the new technology that’s out there. You have such a keen interest in it that you just naturally ask all the right questions and your always itching to get in there and have some hands on experience. You demonstrate the ease of it and your so well versed in the equipment that you’re able to tell us what the old way was like and the benefits of all these new innovations. Wonderful video and thank you’s to the family that let you come out, video there production and they were wonderful in explaining and giving comparisons and such. Please send my thanks to them, it was incredible to see. Congrats to you and Joanna on becoming parents to that beautiful son of yours. Congrats to the entire Pemberton family and to Joanna’s family on this beautiful new family member. All my best wishes to you all!❤❤
Very interesting! Georgia, Richard, and Simon were well spoken and explained things so that a non-farmer could understand! Thanks for sharing this.
Haha thank you we try our best
Just started watching and for a moment thought you were in our parlour. We have a very similar set up but De Lavel mainly because our local dealer is De Lavel. 2 differences, a strap comes down behind a problem cow to stop her coming off, and we have a teat dip robot. We went from milking 21 hours a day in a 20/20 herringbone to 9 hours for 3 milkings. 750 cows. Lovely to see you visiting others farms
Yes Tom! Milk in an abreast! You should visit Patrick Holden's farm in Wales where he makes cheddar cheese. They've got a ten unit abreast.
That's pretty cool, amazing how they know to back off from the rotary as well
I remember seeing a rotary parlor back in the 1950s. In New Jersey USA
In Wisconsin, U.S we have a quad rotary parlor each rotary is 200, milking i believe 3000 Holstein cows.
That's a well set-up dairy, I work on a 1100 head Holstein farm we milk 2 times a day on pasture and silage in australia its good to see how other countries do things
What an incredible farm, cows happy, clean and obviously amazingly looked after. What a great site that parlour was. Happy cows, happy farmers.
A truly great set-up but the really amazing thing is the genetics in that herd of cows. Whoever is responsible for the breeding side of the operation is the hero on the farm.
GREAT EPISODE TOM! Amazing operation they have! Fascinating how farm engineering/technology has progressed to improve everything for the cow and the farmer.
who knew such aparlor existed- thank you for the field trip- how efficient. Learned so much thank you again
It is great to see you so excited Tom!! 2 gentleman and 1 lady there!! What a mine of knowledge they are!! Amazing set up!! WOW!!
When I was younger I used to relief milk at weekends, Ive worked in Tandem, Abreast, Herringbone and a carousel, the carousel spent a lot of time broken, good job they didn’t pull out the herringbone, however the carousel was pulled out within6 months as it was so unreliable, good to see they have been improved, TDF honest farming have not long had a rotary fitted, wonder if the name was changed due to the unreliability
What a Great Set up all Credit to Richard & Simon those Cows are something to be really proud of.
All I can say is what a Class setup
🤙🤙👍👍
Love it, automation for pushing up…you know that Ginge is gonna give you a broom and say one man power lol! Happy days
We had one of those teet wash systems, we only had a 16/16 herringbone. But it was a perfect parlor, auto id, acr, air line for dump bucket, auto feed auto wash. Absolutely amazing parlor for a small herd of cattle.
Great content tom..respect and thanks 2 all the farmers out there.
Great video, remember when we had an 8 stall parlour. Seeing that setup is incredible, thats some outfit and the cows looked great 👍
Great video! That is one heck of a setup! Using your 42l per cow per session.. a little math, a little calculator...
27,720 liters per day...
7,323 US gallons per day..
2,672,895 US gallons or 10,118,008 liters per year! That is a lot of milk!
Watched till the end & these figures are low. One of the brothers said a 34,000 liter lorry would have to return to get the last couple hundred liters left in the tank, per day. Quite a nice operation they have.
they looked nice and happy - bet you if you put a speaker pusher robot playing the sound of the tractor and feeder more cows would get up to feed and more feed equals more milk.
Tom and his Father are Fantastic Farmers. Thanks for another awesome upload
Wow nice farm. The cows all look happy and content. Lots of yummy milk to feed us the things we love ! ❤
Great set up I know a family from the bad county in N Ireland it was taking 15 hrs a day to milk put the rotary in 2 and a half hours.
Really really good , amazing how dairy farmers work so we all can enjoy our milk. Thanks for a very informative video. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
Brilliant video Tom what a fantastic set up,thanks for sharing.
What a fantastic family farm. They should be proud 😊
The farm I work on has a 72 cow rotary they're milking 2700 head give or take and milk goes straight on to the truck/ lorry
Awesome video Tom. This video totally debunks the animal rights activists. That really don’t have a clue. Farmers truly do care about their animals.
That was so cool! Tom, please thank that wonderful family for letting you visit! I spent my childhood on a dairy farm. Around a 50 cow (?) barn, usually milking around 42 (?) at a milking. In a stanchion barn with a pipeline system. This system blows my mind! At 55 and gone from farming many years, this is beautiful! Thank you for sharing! Hugs to you and all your family! ❤️🖤🤍🐄
10th gen farmer has one of those teat prep machines too.
I have learnt so much since I started watching your channel thank you Tom I have a huge appreciation for British farmers
That is a fantastic parlor Tom thanks for the visit to a different way of milking cows.
As great as it is Tom there is nothing to compare with your cows scampering into the fields when the weather is better... superb video...
The farm is so clean !
Really good can't get over the nember of cows that are milked in the time, love the toy at the end as you've been a good boy this year you could put it on your Christmas list, perhaps Santa might be able to drop one off for you. 👍
Hats off to those lads, that's some setup. Times on your side Tom.
Noticed how clean it is
What a fantastic parlour and how easy it is to milk such a large herd. 42L per head is awesome, very informative and interesting. Thanks Tom
Great video Tom ! The Ickes are not far from where I live ,the farm is run really well and the cattle are so looked after. You couldn’t meet a more laid back person than Richard which reflects by how calm the cows are 🐮👍🏻
Awesome video Tom, I would love to know their margin over purchase feeds ! Also it’s interesting to see how many staff are on these big dairy farms, years ago they use to say 100-120 cows per man is this still the case ? They looked like they had a cracking lot of cows with some lovely udders and very clean feet. 👌🏻
Wow. What an operation. Thanks for showing us. Be well and safe travels.
The biggest thing that jumped out at me was that every animal and worker was relaxed/calm. That is a huge thing in being successful with livestock. Their entire system is well thought out and works smoothly. Their work load is not too physically taxing either, that really cuts down on fatigue.
This is like outer space when compared to how my Grand Father milked in 1970. He milked 20 cows by hand into a five gallon bucket and ran the milk through a strainer on top of a ten gallon milk can. He then took a hand dolly and move the can across the road to the can milk cooler. ( Not a heavy enough electrical service in the milk barn to run the coolers) IRC the can plus the milk, weighed right at 90 lbs.
Wow awesomeness overload x😊
impressive setup. your are still a craftsman, they are proper industry.
Wow incredible!!
Fascinating farm.
Amazing! And so informative,thank you
