The milk parlor is almost ready to go! The parlor is a double-10 herringbone. The milkers and washing hoses are in place.

This is the palpation rail for breeding and vet work. Behind it will be a herdsman's office.

Curtains are being hung in the free stall barn. The curtains extend the full 592-foot length of the barn.

The breaker boxes for the entire barn are being installed.

A view of the original farm buildings and the new free stall barn.

The side curtains are made of vinyl and cover the 16-foot sidewalls.

Rubber flooring will be in all cow traffic areas.

Stone trims the front and side of the new milking center.

The stone has to be carefully pieced together.

Forms for concrete to be poured. A new barnyard at the heifer housing is planned.
