“It’s great to be finished this New Shed the 54-bail Read Milking Machine in Fairlie. Setting the pace, it was completed in 2-months from the last cow walking out of the old shed. The build started with driving a bulldozer through the old shed 45 Bail herringbone shed and building the new shed on top of the old footprint.
