Abstract
A milker support including a support structure adapted to support a milking unit within a stall and which may be moved downwardly in small increments during a milking process to optimize the height of the milking unit relative to the cow as the cow is being milked out. A reciprocal motor mounts the support structure and manual controls for the motor are provided whereby the initial height of the support structure may be adjusted. An automatic control is operative to cause the motor to progressively drive the support structure, and thus the milking unit, downwardly during a milking process.
