    Three things came to mind as I watched the cows on that farm. Clean, calm and content.. I am always amazed at how docile they remain around the robot milkers with all the sounds and movement that comes with them.

    I have to research the "volunteer " foot bath have never even heard of the concept don't mind seen it, however it is not unreasonable to suspect that it would work as I have seen cattle go out of their way to browse on certain herbs and plants on occasion which are known to have medicinal qualities, we also give cows free access to straw to eat if they are not feeling well and this reduces the amount of high fibre we need to incorporate into the mix as most cows don't need much more than.5 kg but you can have some that need much more so they can go help themselves, working well in our system,, if a voluntary system works it would cut out a lot of messing around the dairy that's for sure.

    Had a dairy in Orland Ca a longtime ago. Milked about 100 head in elevated double three side openers. Would of loved to have a robot back then.
    I had a grinder mixer that I mixed sugar-beet pulp pellets, ground whole cotton seed, corn, rice mill, and ground amond hulls. Hell I even fed whole Oranges in the feed trough. You should see a cow chomp down on a whole orange, orange juice dripping from the side of the mouth.
    One more thing, out here in almond country, it is widely known that almonds are almonds on the tree and amonds off the tree. That is because they shake L out them getting them off the tree.
    Keep up the good work, I really enjoy your videos. Thanks

    • @benjaminbauer4883
      @benjaminbauer4883 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Its called a voluntary milking system. Which means the cows have constant access to the robot and they milk when they feel like it, ie some cows will milk 3 times a day and others will milk 4 times. I think you work on 60 cows per robot.

    There was 1 cow just hanging out beside the entry to the Miller and at 5:30 we see why. She's curious about how the machine works. You can see her head leaned in inspecting the arm as it washes her sister's teats. The camera angle changes but I'm pretty sure she watched rge second arm attaching to the teats too. How smart is that?

    Jan, my dad was a dairy farmer back in the 1940s-1960s, and died very tragically at an early age, so I missed out a lot of the actual farming activities. No other better way to grow into adulthood, feed your neighbors and make a lasting difference. I have watched every video of yours, so my questions is... Do you ever shave?? You seem to have a 2-3 day growth all of the time. I know, shaving can be a pain, but I was simply wondering. You do excellent work, represent and support one of the most elite and important industries of the world, keep going, growing and thank you for what you present to us.

Does the different product in the feed make the milk taste different. Orange and almonds have a very distinct taste. Just wondering.

Are they supported with enough acreage to supply the base of their feed or is it all imported? It would be interesting to see how they mixed the feed. That 'tracking' system is amazing!

      Even if the computer crashes the robots will be able to keep milking for at least 24 hours because that’s how much backup information it stores I believe, and by that time the computer will already have been replaced by the technicians usually, you just won’t be able to add new cow information such as treatments and calving etc. Til the computer is restored

    Thank you for posting the robot video. I was wondering if they have a backup power supply. One wonders how big the generator would have to be. A big backup diesel generator would almost be a necessity to make sure of a consistent electrical supply. Your fact finding trip is definitely going to be interesting to see what you can incorporate in your dairy. One wonders if an "on-site" technician is required to make sure everything is working as it should. 😊
