I've always wondered if those robotic milking stations are practical for actual dairy operations I'm not sure what the maintenance is like on equipment like that..but I bet it's only financially viable for certain applications
This looks a lot better then some of the other dairy farms I’ve seen and I love the brush thing they got the look happy with it
They look so calm during the hoof check. If it were in my country, our cows at least would try push you back with their leg
I find the treatment of not only Dairy cattle but Beef cattle so calm and humane. This is, in thanks, to an autistic woman named Temple Grandin. There was a film made about her starring Claire Danes. She designed much of the equipment used in the cattle industry that is still in use today starting with her “squeezing machine”. The piece of equipment at 3:19 looks like one. The cows head sticks out but pressure is applied to the sides of the animal. It promotes a calming effect. Pretty cool just so that the animals, especially in the beef industry, could die with calmness and dignity.
After all the humans died, the machines continued to tend to the cattle in a symphony of automation. The camera pans across the automated barn, the cows look well fed & tranquil. The camera continues panning to the milk vats which are overflowing. The camera now follows the flow of milk down the sides of stylish & shiny vats into a drain.
