    I noticed this video is getting suggested to more people lately. I have received quite a few negative comments, which is fine. I hope you can appreciate that I am willing to show what is going on on a modern dairy farm. These cows are actually very relaxed and content even though they are not frolicking on green pastures. Our climate and other factors makes that difficult. We do offer cows the option to go out to pasture during their dry period (2 month break from milking every year) but you would be surprised how much they choose to go inside the barn anyway. They like the shelter and the beds are comfortable. Thanks for your time!

      I just randomly dropped in here because of the algorithm. Cows are food. It looks like they are well taken care of, you're trying to improve their health and quality of life which is great to see. People who are commenting negatively are just negative people. Thanks for sharing your experience.

I sure he makes more on RUclips then his part of the milk check. Plus in one of his early videos he said he was buying out his uncle's share in the farm so it be just him and his dad.

    Don't let the negative comments get to you. I worked on a dairy ranch from age 14 to 18 back in the early '80s. People have no clue about the reality of most farming, ranching, processing, and production of most of the products that they happily consume. The ranch I was on was small, ran around 400 head and all rotated from several pastures to the holding area before milking and back out to the post milking area. Anyway you structure it, there is going to be a lot of manure and a lot of work to manage it. I would have been very happy to have a robot handle some of the work. Since the path is consistent, I wonder if a rail system would be more efficient.

    Eric its so amazing how you can fine tune your operation and how much better your operation looks and how much money it saves in certain parts of your operation. It will help with the cows feet and the free stalls will be much clearer and everything will be much better than to have lots of manure around as the slats will be way better and less dirty and basically less hoof problems so you probably won't have to have the hoof trimmer out as much. It's amazing how much clearer the slats look after a couple times over.

      That's one of the reason they bought used ones instead of new because of the price

    Your cows seem happy, thanks for taking care of them kindly! Obviously they will make a mess, but you guys show a lot of care and clearly work very hard to maintain the farm. Out of curiosity though, is the robot just scraping the filth into the slots, or is it sort of "vacuuming" it into a chamber then dumping it somewhere? Also, it would be really cool if you guys filmed and shared when a 100% clean out/sanitation happens. I imagine its a once in a while kind of clean out, but that would be so satisfying to watch.

    Great video! The robots are impressive machines and appear to do a great job on the floor. Great to have an expert resource person nearby if you need any assistance. Awesome to improve herd environment/health and improve your productivity/lifestyle. Win/Win! More time to spend with your beautiful babies. Great investment. Enjoyed the video. Well done Eric!

    Little bit at a time, if it runs every day with a little water your floor will look brand new.
