Morning spent with Purcell Farms on the other farm with the robot working away.

With one Lely Astronaut working with 65 cows, we catch up with feeding. Fiat 100-90 working the Keenan Mechfiber with Maize, Silage and straights all added to the blend. Maize, Silage and the grain is all grown on the farm.

Recently added to the fleet was a new JCB 532-60 replacing a 526-56...offering a big step up in machine size and comfort.

With 65 high yielding cows being milked through the Lely Astronaut with an average of 2.89 milking's per day across the herd. James was explaining they are averaging 2450 litres through the robot per day

Down at the robot we also seen the automatic footbath which flushes and rinses itself out on a timed schedule.

Also the hardest working part of the farm, the Lely Discover working all day long keeping the slats and rear of the cubicles clean.

That milking robot is very clever.  

Another great video.  Looks like you made a friend for sure.  No doubt Purcell Farms have their process down to a fine science and a ton of money tied up in equipment.  

An impressive setup.
