First Cow Milked in Our WeCover, Lely Robot Barn! October 1, 2024

Congratulations! Looking forward to many more updates.

Cool! Never seen a computer milker work. Milked cows 50+ years, many different ways. One question. Why does it quarter milk? Seemed excessive on a young even uttered cow to me.

Wonderful Video Today!........ She seemed a bit hesitant to be the first one in but once there she seemed very much at ease enjoying her pellets as the robot did it's work. I'm sure you have been busy there, but how is it going so far?.....from some of the other robotic dairies i have been watching they seem to say it takes a week or so for the girls to get used to their new surroundings and routines. How are the girls getting used to the whole new barn setup?..... it looks like quite a change from the old barn. when you were unloading them into the new barn some seemed excited....... We all wait in anticipation for each new video to see how things are progressing...... and since the robot is keeping such detailed records for each girl and each milking are you seeing anything that surprises you other than some teets milk longer than others? ...... just curious LOL..... AS always THANK YOU for sharing Your Journeys with all of us........

AWESOME JOB !!! Was waiting for that first cow to go through....lol...Enjoy the new setup. And alitte time for other things...

It’s been two weeks in the new barn. I do hope you create a video explaining the journey...the highs and the lows. @allendavidson6608 has great questions too!

I was so looking forward to seeing that first cow get milked. If I had a passport, I may have invited myself to witness it first hand. I can see this won’t be a fast process but I didn’t think it would be.

How did it take to milk all of the cows the first time. Great videos you have taken of process of building your new barn

Congratulations! I’m sure it will take a bit before everything starts to run smoothly. Lots to learn for both you guys and the cows.

What is the pan of water for thats in front of the cow being milked?

So many things to say. First the lights in the barn from a distance look amazing. Second those cows must have the patience of job. And one question what is the average age of your cows?

Borrow cows used to Lely from another farm, train yours.

Will not be long and the "Ladies" will be telling you how to run it

No post dip? Thought the robot is supposed to pre and post dip.

You contaminated the nozzles banging into her udders several times. This is a lousy robot compared to other robots I have seen in action.

Best off luck with your new barn and robot, hopefully a good milk price in the years a head to help pay for it all, were on 45 cence a litre here in Ireland at the moment

Waiting for that milker to ajust and conect was stressfull

Seems to be fun at the beginning! Good luck!

voilà la vidéo qui était attendue. j ai bien aimé le petit rire de satisfaction lorsque que la vache a commencé a être traite😂
comment cela se passe maintenant après 15 jours ?
encore merci de nous faire partager votre quotidien d éleveur.
bon courage et bonne journée

Congratulations! Such a relief to have the big build done and get back to life. Each week you will see improvements and will enjoy your new flexibility in chores!! Such an incredible change for the cows and you guys. An amazing way to milk cows 😊

shoulda found a dirtier skinnier cow

This is so great to see!! So glad that We Cover was able to provide you with your new barn. Thank you soi much for your business. Looking forward to what the future brings for your farm :-)

My next door neigbours started last august in a complete new barn whit 120cows and and two A5 ,after 6 weeks they had like 1 or two cows a day so there is hope for you guys, but the majority will pick it up very soon in general, thanks and greetings from a Dutch dairyfarmer

She's not too keen on that foot bath.

I want to see more of the cows 🐄 getting milk

Nice to see ! the Lely factory is close to were i live in the Netherlands.

Hallo,
die ersten 3 -4 Wochen sind die anstrengsten, dann wird es immer besser !
Ihr müst aufpassen, das ihr die Kühe nicht an das holen gewöhnt, deshalb auch mal zu anderen Zeiten hohlen oder mal länger warten lassen.
Wir melken seit 14Jahren mit Lely, es gibt nichts besseres !
Gruss aus Germany from Gregor

Great video Debra Ron John Jr and crew
