Abstract: A method of automatically milking an animal having at least two udder quarters. The milking of the at least two udder quarters is performed at least partially simultaneously. The method includes the step of controlling the milking intensity during at least a part of the milking of each udder quarter in such a way that all udder quarters will be milked-out according to a predetermined chronological order. The method also includes the step of determining, during milking, for each udder quarter a value of a milking parameter of the milk obtained from the relevant udder quarter, the milking intensity during at least a part of the milking of each udder quarter being controlled with the aid of the determined value of the milking parameter in such a way that all udder quarters will be milked-out according to a predetermined chronological order.
