Eric & Aileen started off in 2017, with one Lely A4 retrofitted into his existing milking parlour. Eric needed a cheap and cheerful solution to milk his 72 cows at the time as he was working off farm, with his own construction company. He found automating the milking process helped him “cut down on labour hugely”
As land near him became available, there was an opportunity to increase cow numbers. Eric weighed up his options and decided to extend and remodel his existing shed, and trade in his A4 and upgrade to 2 Lely A5s and is planning to calve down 110 cows in Spring 2025. “Even with more cows now, the labour is less than when I was milking 50 cows in a parlour”
Eric is no stranger to Lely products on his farm, in addition to the 2 A5 milking robots, Eric has:
“The whole system just works so well – the cows are just so content all the time. They’re clean from the scrapers, their milked as and when they want on the robots, and with Feed to Yield on the robot, as well as ABC grazing, the cows are fed accordingly and there is no waste.”
Come and join us for Eric’s open day, for a unique look at how robotic milking can be done on a budget and for expansion.
