Lely Vector for Beef Farms | Automatic Feeding in the North of England

Lely Vector: automatic feeding for beef farms too

Lely is often known for robotic milking, but automation has a valuable place on beef farms too.

For beef finishers, feeding is one of the biggest daily jobs and one of the biggest influences on performance, consistency and cost control. The Lely Vector automatic feeding system is designed to mix, deliver and push up fresh feed throughout the day, helping cattle receive the right ration at the right time.

For beef farms, this can help:

  • Save time by reducing the pressure of the daily feeding routine
  • Reduce tractor work with fewer repeated feeding and push up tasks
  • Support consistent intakes by keeping fresh feed available more often
  • Improve ration accuracy by feeding different groups according to need
  • Reduce waste by limiting stale feed and helping avoid overfeeding
  • Give more control over one of the biggest costs on farm

With support from Lely Center Longtown, beef farmers across the North of England can explore whether automatic feeding could fit their farm, their sheds and their future plans.

The Lely Vector automatic feeding system will be showcased on the Lely Center Longtown stand, Stand 244, at this year’s Great Yorkshire Show, giving beef farmers a great opportunity to see the technology up close.

If you are looking at ways to save time, improve feeding consistency or gain more control over feed use, the show is the ideal place to start the conversation. Our team will be on hand to answer questions, talk through how the Vector works and explain how automatic feeding could fit into different beef systems.

Whether you are managing finishing cattle, youngstock or mixed groups, the Vector can help deliver fresh feed more regularly, support accurate ration delivery and reduce the pressure of the daily feeding routine.

It is also a chance to discuss your own farm setup, including shed layout, group sizes, feed storage and future plans. Automatic feeding is not one size fits all, and our team can help you understand whether it could be the right fit for your farm.

Come and visit Lely Center Longtown on Stand 244 at the Great Yorkshire Show and speak to the team about how the Lely Vector could support your beef farm.
