John and Ivor Sweetnam are currently milking 80 cows on a 110-acre grazing platform using one DeLaval VMS™ V300 milking robot.
With a focus on spring and autumn calving, the farm installed the robot three years ago to support a better work-life balance. The robotic system has allowed the farm to average 28 litres of milk per cow per day while providing flexibility for the family to manage both farming and family life.
The VMS has made it possible for full-time work on the farm and more time with family.
