Stirling, Scotland
Graham's The Family Dairy
From Parlour to Robots
I would definitely recommend dairy automation to anyone thinking about it, the flexibility would be my main advantage. Not necessarily less staff but more flexible approach to the working day with my staff. You aren’t tied to a specific regimental regime; you can focus on larger jobs on a day-to-day basis or spend more time with your family. The cows are less stressed, allowing them to have free access to milk, feed or rest.

We still spend the same amount of time with the cows; however we have a more flexible lifestyle, we have the flexibility, especially in the Spring & Summer months when we are required to be getting on with field work

Family & Flexibility is the key
The Lely automated farming system on our farm has given us increased yield, happy, healthy cows, and the flexibility at the time to attend all my son’s school, sporting, and social events – watching them grow into the young men that they are today. It’s the robots that have given me that precious time. Lely Center Ayr provides an excellent service; they have a great team of engineers in the Dumfries & Galloway area. Having robots now for over 14 years, it’s the best decision we have made on the farm.

Westertoun Farm, milking 150 pedigree Holstein cows with focus on animal welfare. Mr Dalling was averaging 33 litres a day in a parlour, twice a day.
Product used
Astronaut A5 | Horizon
Hi. I'm James Dalling, and this is Westertoun Farm. Two weeks ago today, we went from a six a side parlour, that was milking a hundred and fifty cows. It was taking seven hours a day.
We're now onto three Lely A5 robots.
Yields have went to thirty three litres, and we're up to thirty eight now. Leading up to switching over to the robots, we were quite concerned about cell counts and bactoscans rising. But the last test came back, they've actually decreased, which has been a big boost, and it seems all to be going really well. Currently, there's about seven or eight cows getting collected, morning and night, so it's been really well.
