‘Labor has been a big issue and that’s one of the reasons we put in the robots – labor is hard to find and hard to keep.’
‘The robots have made it possible to enjoy other parts of our lives.’
‘The free-flow design has enhanced the herd’s lifestyle and increased overall comfort.’
‘The cows are free to do whatever they want, when they want.’
Shannon Dietz and her husband Drew have been raising youngstock on their family farm outside Nashua, Iowa since 2016. In 2019 they upgraded their operation with a Lely Calm automatic calf feeder to improve their calf rearing program. Their story, however, begins roughly 60 years earlier.
Locating cows for special treatment or attention is easy, efficient and saves time with the Lely CowLocator. Using Nedap cow locator technology, integrated with the Lely Horizon farm management system, allows dairy farmers to locate cows accurately and provides insight in heat detection and cow health.
