Abstract
Apparatus for sensing the milk flow from an animal being milked, and for detaching the teat cups from the udder of the animal after the milk flow has substantially stopped. Sensing of the milk flow and detachment of the teat cups is accomplished with pneumatic controls, without the use of any electrical circuitry. Means are provided to shut off the milking vacuum to the teat cups to aid in detachment of the teat cups from the animal.
