Farmer stories Lely Center

Brendan English, who is currently milking 69 cows on a 27-hectare block on the family farm at Garryclogher, just outside Cahir, also works off-farm and began exploring automated milking options in 2016.

Willie John Kehoe has been robotically milking since 2017 but in late 2023 he made the change to three Lely robots. In doing so, he moved from a guided flow system to free cow traffic. The change to Lely robots has been transformative for the farm.
