Padraig and his father Eamon are milking 260 cows across two farms in Co Westmeath. Up until a few years ago they were milking 225 cows through the parlour on the home farm. They installed a robot on an outside block to take pressure off the home farm, where numbers reduced to 200 cows with 60 cows now being milked on the outside block.
We talk to Padraig on his experiences of milking on a second unit with a robot and the benefits and challenges it presents. We will also have a detailed walkthrough of the minimal build completed for the robot.
