The existing area where the three robots were on this farm was converted to a separation area with a crush put beside what was left of the pit to allow safe treatment of a cow.

Walkthrough of Willie John Kehoes' shed - one of the most interesting jobs I've been involved in - we had to fit 3 Lely robots while ensuring the 3 existing robots stayed working in the shed until we got the Lely robots up and running. Open day on the farm this Friday.

"Fewer schemes, better schemes. Get rid of all the meaningless schemes which have created a bureaucratic monster for farmers... Create one good agri-environmental scheme which is attractive for farmers, advisors, the Department and the EU."

All welcome on the day - there will be a Q&A with Willie John around 2:30pm which isn't to be missed! Cell count has dropped by 178,000 since changing to Lely robots.

The next tranche of TAMS now won't open until the 23rd of January, still due to close on the 7th March. DAFM explained that this is to facilitate development work on the 60% grant rate for slurry storage investments.

Excellent video with Ray Reynolds who got into milk three years ago with an indoor system. Running two Lely robots, a Juno feed pusher and a Collector automatic scraper. Great operator with cows averaging 12,000 litres.
