Milking 1700 Cows on a 72 Point Rotary - Scotland

[@anthonyt5342]

A bloke that used to sell me dairy equipment told me that he never asked WHY. Wonder how long it will be before they replace the men and cows with a machine? I suppose we wont need milk then!!!!! How much did all that cost??? It looks like an awfull lot of litres of milk needed to pay for it!!!

[@garymoore3657]

Am a former employee on this farm unbelievable how much it has gone forward

[@danbrewer]

Amazing set up. A lot of nifty features. The guy really knows his stuff

[@janicebos9181]

Could you please let me know the name of the product use to write the white numbers on the back side of the cow. Thank you.

[@tandemwings4733]

No, it's not a product, it's a process called "freeze branding", normally done by contractors using liquid nitrogen and non-ferrous branding irons (oops, and hair shavers).

Unbelievable 50 years ago i milked in a shippon

[@pixie706]

Yes i remember a long shed and each cow knew her place . individually chained up.

Good video & content of a very efficient farm dairy! I believe its your gimbal that is constantly in the bottom right of the shot, perhaps a different setting on your camera is required to avoid this in future videos?

[@Grasstecgroup]

Thanks. Yes it was, the microphone meant it was the only way to balance it 🙈 we have got a new one since 👍🏼

[@chuantaiscrewpress]

I feel great

[@lordofhowell7158]

Maybe the government will run as efficient as this one day 😂 Brilliant video 💪🏻 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

I doubt that'll ever happen, lol.

[@lordofhowell7158]

@@Northernman68 a nice thought 😂

[@hugoagogo9435]

If they ever do it will be for one day and no more

[@daniels9835]

Which government? They busy running to get their pockets filled.

[@bencarter2334]

With flip flop starmer in charge there's no chance! If he was managing this farm he'd have 2700 cows with enough feed for 100 and only 10 milking at any one time!

[@dulcehomen3655]

I don’t care for the way the crowd gate is designed. You need to be very careful that a cow doesn’t get her head in between the rails and gets jammed as the gate advances

[@danbrewer]

Yep I have seen this type of gate go wrong twice. Not a pretty sight

[@mememachine5244]

Tbh given how the guy described an electric motor as hydraulic twice I don't think they have the foresight to see that. Can easily see a cow getting her head stuck, you know given this type of farm encourages them to put their heads between railings.

Milk routine at its best, cleanliness, stress free, excellent cow flow well done lads top class

[@jascollinscork]

Great video! Very interesting can’t believe they milking about 1700 with just 72 units just goes to show how effective the whole system is!! Farmers milking ALOT less and spending too much time in the parlour 🙄

[@tomgreene1843]

Is calving all year round....where is the milk sold

[@Grasstecgroup]

Yes all year round calving, we have a video coming up over the next few weeks looking at the calving set up.

[@tomgreene1843]

@@Grasstecgroup Thanks for that.

[@garymadden2656]

Some set up 👌

[@murphychris9811]

oh i work there for free

[@keithwheeler8875]

Wow that makes the 400 on 3 x a day I milked back in the 80s look small that was in a 24/24 herringbone

[@Grasstecgroup]

That’s still a big herd, must have been a very impressive set up in the 80s 👌🏻

[@michaeldorn5330]

@@Grasstecgroup why do you have to milk a lot cows to be a good farmer, do u not understand lads with 50 100 cows work far harder because their a one man show and do everything with very little help

[@Grasstecgroup]

@@michaeldorn5330 it’s nothing to do with size Michael, there is fantastic farms of all sizes, we are just trying to show lots of different setups with different ideas on how to do things. We want our videos to have something for everyone.

[@bustersmith5569]

Herringbone ???

[@Mickymaxywonder]

​@@michaeldorn5330 I agree and there is more of a future for those smaller one man band setups in coming years.

[@JohntyNich]

I would have hated to be doing the same job even if they swap every couple of hours. Loved working with cows but just cleaning or putting on would have been mind numbing. Fair play to those that do it.

[@Northernman68]

How long does it take from the time a cow steps on till stepping off?

[@jamestatham9950]

Good question, I don't know, but I know they can vary the speed of it!

[@jamestatham9950]

Doing some quick maths, if there Doing 400 an hour and its 72 stall I make it about 10.5 mins for a full rotation!

[@randykline2575]

He stated that at about the 3/4 mark the cows are done being milked and the machines drop off so roughly 7 1/2 minutes the machines will be on.
