Great article about one of our clients in County Down. Great overall performance by the team at Glastry Farm with a 9,500 litre Holstein herd with current protein at 3.45% (up to 3.66% during the winter) and butterfat at 4.45%.

Out with a client today 16 days after starting four Lely A5 robots. Excellent start so far with herd averaging 33kg milk with three milkings and five refusals per day already. Well planned out layout here using existing cubicle house.
