Robotic milking and Grazing work seamlessly together

Maximize Grazing Efficiency with the Lely Grazeway

The Lely Grazeway is an innovative grazing management system designed to give cows the freedom to choose when they go out to pasture while maintaining optimal control for the farmer. This smart selection box seamlessly integrates with Lely’s automated milking systems, directing cows to grazing when it best suits their milking schedule and nutritional needs. By promoting efficient pasture use and reducing the need for manual intervention, the Grazeway helps improve cow welfare, milk production, and overall farm efficiency.

A-B-C Grazing with Tara Whitty

The Natural Rhythm of Cows: Intelligence in Motion

Watch here how Tara Whitty reflects on the remarkable instincts of dairy cows, observing how they naturally understand when to move. When the farm first started with seventy heifers, they quickly adapted to the routine. Operating across three areas—A, B, and C—the cows begin their movement at 2 AM and return by 10 AM. Daily tasks include managing filters, washing down, and adjusting grazing wires. The efficiency of the system is particularly evident during busy times like silage season, where milking continues seamlessly in the background. No matter how hectic the day gets, the cows manage themselves with ease, ensuring a smooth and stress-free operation.

Dairying is a 24/7 operation, which is why Lely Horizon software comes standard with the Lely Grazeway Drafting system. The cow collars collect valuable data, which is processed by Lely Horizon Farm Management software. This system not only analyses the data but also enables you to track health treatments, inseminations, pedigree, calving, and much more.

Work life balance with Lely system

To be able to get up on a Sunday morning and get your jobs done quickly, then be gone for the day, and come back at, say, seven, eight or nine o’clock and do 20 minutes to half an hour’s work, that’s massive. Since the robots and the Grazeway System were installed, it’s also become easier to get help

Optimising Grazing with the Lely Astronaut

We placed the Grazeway at a point which provided good access for the cow, whether she's walking from our A, B or C milking blocks. Once we had the system in place, we put all the cows out to grass and then trained them through the Grazeway and then onto the Astronaut all in one go

Flexible Farming with the Lely Astronaut A5

We run an A-B-C system here, which involves the use of three paddocks, three times a day – every eight hours – which ensures that when cows skip a block, they have first access to the newest block, meaning they’ll get the best quality grass available
