A milking parlor ( 10 ) comprises a row of stalls ( 14 ) accessible to milk producing animals ( 12 ) from a front end ( 14 a) thereof, and adapted for milking the animals; and an identification station ( 20 ) arranged in the front end for identifying the animals when entering the parlor. A method of verifying the identities of the animals in the row comprises: (i) identifying the animals in the stall located at the far end ( 14 b) of the row, in the stall located at the front end ( 14 a) of the row, and in a stall located there in between by first, second and third identification members ( 24, 26, 28 ); (ii) comparing the identifications of the first, second, and third identification members ( 24, 26, 28 ) with the first, last and n'th identifications from the identification station ( 20 ), where the stall located between the far and front ends is the n'th stall as counted from the far end ( 14 b); and (iii) depending on the comparison verifying the identities of at least some of the animals ( 12 ) in the row ( 14 ). |
