Graham's The Family Dairy: From Parlour to Milking Robots
Installing four Lely A5 Astronaut milking systems to replace a dated herringbone parlour was driven by a desire to make dairying more enjoyable for both farmer and cows.
Graham’s The Family Dairy is a family-owned dairy company based in Bridge of Allan, Scotland. Founded in 1939 by Robert Graham with just 12 cows, the company has grown into Scotland’s largest independent dairy producer. Today, it remains a third-generation family business, led by Robert Graham Jr, Grandson of the founder.
Fast forward to 2025 and The Graham Family are currently milking a herd of 240 pedigree Jersey cows at Mains of Boquhan Farm, Stirling.
Recently, we caught up with, Leanne Bertram - Dairy Herd Manager to discuss the move from parlour to dairy automation.
Pre-robots, the Graham Family milked their herd through a herringbone parlour, housed cows in a dated cubicle shed. They came to the crossroads of update existing setup or invest in a new greenfield site.
