The holding pen is looking so good!! This is where the cows wait to be milked. It's a large circular area inside the barn surrounded by a fence. There's a sweep gate in the middle that slowly turns in a circle, crowding them towards the bridge where they will cross into the milking parlor to take their turn on the rotary milker.
In our old barn, the holding pen was outside. The cows would have to stand in the rain and cold for several hours, waiting for their turn for milking. This will be so much better!!! Sometimes this nice barn makes me wish I was a cow.
