    Great to see the progression with the family on the farm, wow milking a couple thousand cows in a double 20 that’s crazy, The new rotary parlor will be a dream, are you guys going with milking from within the rotary or out, there’s advantages to outside with housing all components within the rotary as a semi basement, back in the eighties I milked 35 cows with three buckets full wood machine. Good luck to you guys and all the best.

    It is amazing to see what your operation has done since 2000.
    Can you share with the viewers where your dairy products end up? Might be some great viewing. Does your milk go to cheese production, straight milk, or what? What companies can your viewers purchase products from?
    Keep the great content going

  • @gavinperry7237

    The ratio of cows milked to milking machines definitely shows that you run an EXTREMELY EFFICIENT Operation. The number of cycles per day that each milking machine runs is AMAZING to factor in twice daily milking for your herd size. We somewhat see the work force involved on the machinery maintenance, feeding, manure handling, field work to grow & harvest feed. Staff to milk the cows & provide herd health is a whole other group of people. Nice to see the family business growing rather than taken over by Hugh Corporations.

I like seeing your family operation grow...it's evident that your growth is a result of interested family members and not ego.

    Thanks Andy for outlining the future of Horrigan Dairies.
    A parlour that can handle 4000 cows means doubling the pastures of the current farm.
    You'll definitely need a bigger workshop.
    Crickets may produce protein but only cows can produce true dairy milk (thus cheese, yoghurts & whey products).
