Mobile Milking 420 Organic Cows | Oliver Chedgey's Unique Approach in Hampshire

In today’s video, we meet Oliver Chedgey from Hampshire, who’s running an impressive organic dairy operation. Oliver milks 420 cows once a day (OAD) using a mobile milking parlour. He runs a spring-calving system on a 2,500-acre estate all out wintered. Discover how Oliver has creatively adapted his setup to make the most of the resources available to him!

Arthur Hosier and Rex Pattersons dairy systems reimagined for the 21 century. These last few videos you guys have posted show how great and diverse dairy farming in the uk can be.👏

Thank you GrassTec for this video. Amazing set up that Oliver has. Good on Tim the landlord for investing such a novel system 😊 Where do they store their hay ? Do they just use contractors to plant their fodder beat ?

[@sarahfeakins555]

Very interesting content! Would it be possible for you to provide details of the company who did the drone footage on this video?

[@ceirinjackman9957]

A man in Tullow had a setup like that about 30years ago

I wonder how much it cost to pay for the mobile milking system. I’m sure it’s more affordable than a conventional milking system but it seems to be far out of reach in the United States with the regulations we have.

[@Grasstecgroup]

Not sure about the total cost, just that Oliver had his investment repaid in 4 years.

[@thomasforbes8904]

Wow intresting But must be some misery on a bad weather day.

[@eastcorkcheeses6448]

Any better or worse than any other open sided parlour ?

[@thomasforbes8904]

Probably no but a very cheap way to produce milk ​@@eastcorkcheeses6448

What's it like on a shit spring morning?

[@Andy-ix2ox]

Interesting, but I don’t think that it would be an option that would have a widespread application, the output per acre/ hectare would leave it very difficult to justify unless like this situation the land owner was involved , here in Ireland with land making €300 per acre per year minimum and up to €550 it would certainly not be an option, however in this scenario the landowner can justify the system due to the increased ( presumably) production of his valuable organic crops or at least I would assume that is the attraction.

[@Grasstecgroup]

It is a unique system that Oliver made work with the opportunity presented in front of him.

[@farmstyle92macd55]

It was nice to hear him talk about the soil near the end I’ve had a big mindset change over the last 4 years
