  • It’s the first of its kind in Ireland on a beef unit. There are also a number of Vectors working on Irish dairy units. The robot Frank Murphy uses will feed up to 550 cattle and can do 20 different diets - from sucklers to calves to finishers and more.
    The robot checks the level of feed in each cattle pen every hour, and measures and pushes the fodder in, keeping the cattle happy, says Mr Murphy. “The most contented animals you can get,” he explains.
    The fodder and each specific dietary mix is made in the ‘kitchen’ by the robot, selecting silage or beet or maize or other forage or concentrate from the various feed bins.
    It’s mixed up to a pre-programmed level, and then off the robot goes, to each group, every hour, keeping the cattle happy and nutritionally catered for.
    It’s all programmable from an iPad or iPhone.
    This Dutch robotic system will save on man hours, diesel, and major investment items like tractors and loaders, says Mr Murphy.
    He’s using a mix of animals for his various customers, from Hereford to Angus to Simmentals, Charolais and Aubrac breeds, and says he can nutritionally tailor the feeding not only to create special quality, marbled beef, but also to provide consistency to his customer base

    It's a fantastic machine to feed the cow and was nice to see it up close and personal because my grandfather is a relation of Frank and he offered up down to have a look at the set up he has

    ‘Maria’ the Lely Vector probably saves two to four hours per day of labor, and it should save around 5,000 to 6,000 liters of Diesel per year.
    I don’t know what the hourly rate is in Ireland, but assuming an average of eight hours saved of labor per day makes this almost 3,000 hours per year.
    The cost per liter in Ireland is about €1.15 per liter. So on average fuel savings are over €6,000, and assuming a minimum of €10 per hour for labor, this is about €30,000 before taxes. Fuel and labor saved is about €36,000 per year.
    At a cost of €145,000, the savings pay for it in about than 4-years. Add to this profits from the operation.
    Keep in mind that ‘Maria’ is probably working 24-hours a day 365 days a year. The reason for this is that the food portions are kept relatively small, but they are fed several times a day. The annual labor cost to duplicate this with three shifts would be around €100,000.

    when you meet your maker and have to face everything you have put Gods creaturrs through. You will be begging for mercy and forgiveness just like the animals the animals were bellowing for mercy on kill floor.
    Its not to late to face the error of your ways and make a change.
    God is watching. He knows every thing you say or do.

    No wonder the poor Labourer is in trouble. Can't see an accountant paying a local lad to work a few hours. Hope he fails. No luck in knocking down old houses. Greedy man.
