Boards we did for an open day for a 260 cow herd in conjunction with the local Teagasc advisor - from April onwards the only labour is Enda and his father. - Power usage - Running costs - 540kg milk solids off a 560kg cow from 1.3t of meal fed.

On a more positive side for robots, great to be up at the launch of the Lely A5 Next - new operating system and a new camera and laser combo to improve attachment even more. New milk separation system and a new automatic milk filter system - no need for filter socks anymore.

As well finished robot rooms as I've seen, 5ft high walls with ceilings. Stainless steel on the walls ensure they are easy to keep clean. White PVC ceilings really help to brighten up the room too.
