Joseph Hughes Junior and Joseph Hughes Senior farm in partnership in Carnew, County Wicklow, IrelandzThey are milking 350 cows using a 54-bail Pearson Milking Technology rotary parlour. Previously they were milking in a 16-unit herringbone parlour. The Hughes' father and son partnership carried out extensive research on which parlour they were going install as they had reached capacity with their current parlour. They researched parlours across the world from Ireland to New Zealand and Australia. Ultimately, they made the decision to choose a Pearson Milking Technology rotary parlour from Ireland after seeing the strength of the deck which is critical to the strength of the whole parlour.
