Sparks Quaker Acres started up 5 A5 Astronauts in Fremont in April 2021.
The farm will milk 300 cows on the robots and continue to milk ~150 cows through the parlor. All of farms calves are raised on a Lely Calm calf feeder, which helped with a smooth transition to robotic milking. We are grateful for the opportunity to continue to work with the Sparks family and excited to see where automation takes their dairy!
