Willie John Kehoe

Lely Astronauts, Lely Collector

It has been life changing, in the last 13 months (since changing to Lely) I think I have rang the on-call about four times but the robots have never actually stopped. The engineers just come and service the robots and you would never know the lads were here, cows just continue to milk away,” Willie John outlined.

Feeding

Will Dodd, Dodleston Hall Farm

Cheshire, UK

Dodleston Hall Farm, milking 300 pedigree Holstein cows with focus on animal welfrare. They revolutionized their feeding system with the Vector, ensuring fresh feed 24/7.

Product used

Vector | Horizon | Discovery Collector

Dodleston Hall Farm, managing 300 pedigree Holstein cows, installed the Vector feeding system in 2024. Previously, feed was only provided once a day and pushed until the night check at 9 PM, remaining untouched until morning. Now, with the Vector, cows receive fresh feed throughout the day and night, with feed being pushed every hour, even on weekends. This system has made feeding much more flexible. Filling the kitchen takes just 20 minutes, and it can hold enough feed for up to three days.
