Farm visit: a tour around a typical British dairy farm

Just after midday, it is busy on Henry (74) and John (44) Shiles’ dairy farm. Just 2 staff members are milking the 439 cows in the milking parlour, and the cubicles have just been refilled. The farm, located in Codrington in the UK, looks like a typical British dairy farm with high roughage silage pits, and a closed floor between cubicles. A tractor scrapes manure out of the barn every morning. The farm boasts many separate buildings, which is a result of gradual growth. Son John Shiles
