Alister milks 1200 cows on 16 VMS™ V300 at Hillside Dairies, and loves the efficiencies this pasture-based, large scale, single barn set-up provides. 

One of the reasons Allan chose the VMS™ V310 was the herd navigator, and the reproductive insights it gives. “That’s a dairy farmer’s dream”, which he uses to milk 50 cows on 1 VMS™ V310.

When their old system needed an upgrade, ongoing struggles to recruit labour made Francis and Judy decide to make the switch to robots. They now milk 350 cows on 6 VMS™ V300. 

When Chap Zweirs and Jack Scheres purchased Grangelands Farm, it was rundown and they knew they needed to build a new milking shed. For Jack, the answer was simple.

Derek and Catherine Hayward’s farm milks around 320-340 cows on 124 hectares, and they’re looking into the future of technology to help advance their farm production.

The number of cows on Nicki and Peter Webster’s farm fluctuates between 1150-1170 and they’re always looking at ways to upscale their technology. In 2016, that meant the DeLaval Body Condition Scoring camera, and they’re more than happy with it.

John Fisher, owner of Fisher Farms, has 320 cows and took the plunge into robotic milking systems despite never using much technology on his farm before.

Heritage Farms has been organic for 30 years and milks 170 cows. They are the first organic, pasture-based dairy farm in the world to install robotic milking machines, and they haven’t looked back.

Nick & Bek Dornauf milk 600 cows on Gala Farm. Their voluntary milking system brings flexibility and freedom to the way they farm, prolongs the life span of their cows, and is getting the next generation excited about the dairy industry.

"We know when we leave our shed at the end of milking that nothing can go wrong, because the chilling is fast and accurate every time."

Waikato farmers Bill and Kay Aubrey spent years trying to get their milk chilling system working faster and better.
