How does a robot milk a cow? The whole process from start to finish!

We milk cows with 3 Lely A5 robots, here is how the entire process works from start to finish!

Pretty neat how the cow sets her back feet after stepping into the stall.

I don't know how I didn't realise this was a thing. Im utterly fascinated.

Some are under the impression that cows don't like to be milked. If they didn't, they wouldn't be lining up at the milking machine, waiting their turn! Domestic dairy cows need to be milked regularly, they were bred for that purpose and would get all sorts of health problems from not being milked, to say nothing of hoof care and medical intervention. These are healthy, contented cows giving lits of milk. I'd love to visit a farm like this.

Thank you for your honest and educational videos. I’m from Iowa too (not a farmer) and I appreciate the work you put into your videos to educate others. Don’t let the haters get to you. You take great care of your cows!

I've been showing this video in my high school science class (we are in an agriculture unit) and all of my students were amazed. You did a great job with the video. Please post more of your videos that I find on Facebook up. I would love to show them the one you did about your inspection.

My wife grew up on a dairy farm. I showed her this video and she was amazed. I know her dad would have been. He had a modern milking parlor, for the time, but that was 40 years ago

I'm super impressed with the robot milking technology, and that the cows feel comfortable enough to essentially milk themselves.

We just retro fitted two Lely A5’s into our barn. Really loving them

I watch your videos on Facebook. My dad spent teenage summers on his grandma’s northern Iowa farm near a town named after my 5-great grandfather. He also sold farm equipment for a small Iowa manufacturer in the 70’s through 90’s. So, all this to say, I love your channel and I am learning so much. Did I mention that I never missed the Iowa State Fair since going at age 12. Thank you for doing all you do.

I used too work at a dairy farm when I was a kid. Back in late 1970S early 1980S we had too clean the utter with a rag . And then hook up the suckers by hand

Great system, I even noticed how the cow positioned herself within the stall for milking. Good video!

[bridgetbrady]

I could watch the robot milking your cows all day! Good video, I enjoy watching more at length videos on YouTube.

Hi there, the wife and I saw you and Jaime with Tork/Sawyer on Barn Talk and thoroughly enjoyed the discussion about dairy farming. We subscribed to your channel and will start looking back over your past posts. This video was exceptionally good, and your milking system was as good if not better than most others that I've seen on YT. You did a good job explaining the process too.

OMgosh! this is incredible. I commented on one of your other videos about my husband having a dairy farm in the 60s. If he were still here he would think this was soooo cool.

I have been binge watching your videos. Very interesting and educational! Thank You!

[Mooba]

So cool. I love how she couldn't wait to get in there

[Dave-ifqj]

These robots are
Truly revolutionary

Do you have any videos of hoof repair? I love to watch the cows walk after they’re all fixed up 😁

[maryellenmelspera]

I raised dairy goats while in 4H, and know how important hoof trimming is to keep the milk flowing. Do you trim you here's hooves or have someone come in? Can you show a video of a trim?

[brendanmassaro]

Can you do a video on how manure is handled and stored? Also why do the stalls seem to never accumulate manure on the sand?
