“The benefits we’ve seen from the robotics is being able to treat the cows as individuals,” John says, “Some cows milk once a day, some milk twice a day. Once they’re trained they’re very relaxed.”
I thought it would have been quite a challenge and would take a long time to get the cows to adapt to the robotic milking system but it has been quite remarkable how quickly they have adapted and started strolling in on their own".
Fisher Farms have also benefitted from the increased flexibility provided by the VMS system. “I can check things remotely through my laptop or my phone.”
“The service and the support has been very good.”
