MILKING PARLOR The unique double-eight milking parlor is a renowned highlight of the Dairy Center. This Boumatic milking system demonstrates both herringbone and parallel parlor styles side-by-side, making it the only dairy educational facility to feature this type of comparison. A viewing window allows visitors to watch the process of harvesting milk from the cow. Milkings are done three times daily: 4:30 a.m., 12:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m.
