24th October, 2023

An early-ish morning to get things done before heading off to Lilydale to visit a robotic dairy with the Legendairy Ladies. It was really interesting, especially the cow behaviour parts of the discussion.

 Three robots with cows inside and waiting

 A cow being milked


A three way gate, depending on the cow (as identified by an electronic tag on her collar) the gate will open in a different direction to send her into the milking area or off to other paddocks, or to a holding pen.

Weather was crappy, windy as heck and spattery And it got steadily worse over the day. It's like nature held out yesterday and said "See this lovely warm sunny weather ?" and then yanked it back and said "Well you can't have it !".
