Watch HereIn this webinar for Virtual farm tour of Simple Robotic Milking install in Tipperary, we cover:
• Yard design
• Building costs
• Installation
• Grazing plan
• Start up experience
• Lessons learnt so far
Derek O'Halleran was a new dairy entrant in spring 2020. Due to the fragmented nature of his land, a grazing system was not an option for the farm, so it was decided to develop an indoor robotic milking system with a high yielding herd. Hoof health is vital to the success of the system with a Lely Discovery Collector installed to ensure passages in the shed are kept clean at all times.
Watch HereHenry and Robert Mulligan from Co Meath installed six Lely robots on their farm in September 2019 to milk their herd of over 400 cows. The farmers held a virtual open day on their farm to give their honest opinion of the system to date. If you are interested in developing a similar system contact the team at Lely Center Mullingar.
Watch HereJack Madigan from Co. Kilkenny converted to dairying in 2020 with the installation of a Lely Astronaut A5. The farm started off with 70 heifers, half of which were Fleckvieh heifers imported from Austria. Keeping building costs to a minimum and making the best use out of the existing shed were key considerations for the farmyard design team on this project. Jack will outline his experiences of the system to date and share his advice for anyone thinking of going down the robotic milking route.
Watch HerePeter Anderson from Co Kildare converted to dairying in spring 2019, installing a Lely A5 to milk his 64 heifers on a grass-based system. In spring 2020 he installed his second Lely A5 and increased numbers to 100 cows with an average production of 490kg of milk solids. For 2021 he aims to milk 130 cows on the system. Peter will outline how the system has worked for the farm to date and how the information he gets from his robots helps him to make daily management decisions.

2 Lely Astronaut A4 milking robots in a head to head organisation with automatic drafting.
New entrants to dairy farming, this long-established beef farming enterprise decided to make the move to dairy and began work on a purpose built shed in 2019.
After much consideration, the build started on a layout that kept the infrastructure related to dairying under one roof:
- 2 robot head to head layout with automatic drafting
- 3 row head to head cubicles with potential to expand without disruption to cow-flow
- Robotic Scraper
- 2 separation areas
- Treatment Pit
- Individual calf housing
- Dairy
- Office
