Additional Information Various grains and commodities are stored in a five bin commodity shed behind the dairy. There are four bunker silos close behind the commodity shed where the forages are stored. The same cow identification system used in the parlor is connected to scales positioned near the parlor exit providing the ability to weigh cattle as they exit the parlor. The entire barn is kept free of manure by a water flush system. The water is recycled after manure solids are removed by a separator.
Excess water is stored in a pair of lagoons adjacent to the manure separator.
