A milking parlor having a plurality of translatable shuttle stalls allows for presentation of animals to be milked and corresponding release of the animals, independent of the milking status of additional animals. The shuttle stalls can be disposed in a herringbone or perpendicular orientation with respect to a corresponding operator pit, wherein the operator pit can accommodate human or robotic devices for implementing the milking process.

In order to control the speed of rotation of a carousel milking installation (1), one selects first the maximum carousel speed. The animals enter the carousel by the entrance (2) and the milking equipment is immediately put in place by the attendant. When the first animal arrives at the second checkpoint (6), a check is made, by means of a light barrier for instance, as to whether the milking equipment has been taken off or not. If it has not yet been taken off, the speed of the carousel is decreased in steps until, at subsequent milking stations (4), the milking equipment has been taken off before the checkpoint (6). When, however, the first checkpoint (5) reports that the milking equipment has already been taken off by then, the speed of the carousel is increased in steps until animals with milking equipment which has not yet been taken off are again reported at the second checkpoint (6). The speed is then reduced again in steps. The control procedure repeatedly alternates and enables the speed of the carousel to be adapted to differences in milking time between different animals.

Wave curb for the cow stand of a diagonal or herringone milking parlor is formed of an elongated sheet metal strip. The side edges are each bent over about 180 degrees to form unitary beads on the side edges. The strip is bent in alternate curves in the longitudinal direction so as to form a succession of alternate arcuate bights, preferably with a wavelength of about 36 to 42 inches. Preferably, the strip is stainless steel or galvanized steel, and has a finished length of about 36 to 144 inches. The sheet metal workpiece is inserted into a wave curb bending apparatus which simultaneously forms a first pair of opposite arcuate bights. Then the workpiece is moved longitudinally in the wave curb bending apparatus; and a second pair of opposite arcuate bights is formed in the sheet metal workpiece. The forming of each pair of arcuate bights can be achieved by rotating a pair of oppositely directed drums against opposite sides of said strip, while holding the strips against a pair of rolls disposed beyond positions of the drums. One of the rolls can be removed for forming straight portions.

A milking parlor has a holding gate and a parallel spaced individually loaded-occupied-unloaded milking stall with an operator pit located intermediate the holding gate and the milking stall. The operator pit can be recessed from the holding gate and the milking stall, wherein a bridge or a bridge cart selectively connects a holding gate to an unoccupied milking stall. A robotic or human operator can function from the operator pit to implement the milking process.
