A reasonably intensive dairy farm.

@ArableSam School reunion. Can't be contacted.

@ArableSam No.

@NatureNymph @sprinkles785 Not a question I could answer . It sounds right in theory mind

@NatureNymph Savings on labour , milking costs . Farms with difficult topography, i.e. lots of walking. @sprinkles785 is the queen of oad .

@NatureNymph Yes. Some cows on robots would be milked more than twice a day.

@NatureNymph Basically, yes.

@NatureNymph Yield would start increasing after calving. A cow on oad for say 4 weeks would suffer some yield suppression. A whole herd might average just 2 weeks on the regime, so small loss overall. Some herds milk 3 times a day to increase yield. Not many in Ireland mind.

@NatureNymph Oh, there would be a loss in yield with an early calving cow Oonagh, but over a whole herd for a number of weeks, it s pretty miniscule. Big saving on labour.

@LiamCurtis16 Lack of info, perhaps.

@kieran_kigr Same as the rest of us ...

@sprinkles785 Amused maybe.
