A close up of the Koepke milking parlor where 320 cows are milked three times a day. The Koepkes maintain a rolling herd average of 30,000 pounds of milk. A complete parlor renovation with a new double ten herringbone rapid exit parlor, and the ability to direct load the milk onto semi-tankers, 2002. This new milking parlor reduced labor costs dramatically, while allowing us the time to milk some cow groups four times per day, increasing production in those groups by about ten percent.
