GAEC des Flandres - Staes family

At the Gaec des Flandres in Hazebrouck (Nord, France), the STAES brothers and their parents reached their goal of milking 100 cows an hour. This internal 24 positions rotary, set up in 2015, allows such a goal to be reached with only one milking operator (forestripping, pre-dipping, wiping) but no post-dipping. "The cows are attached to headlocks after milking and our somatic cell count runs at 150,000 for a herd producing 10,000 litres average."

Schweizerhof - Wolfger Family

Schweizerhof - Wolfger Family

Wolfger family farm has been active for several generations in Austria. Last year, the dairy farm has been took over by the son, Helmut Wolfger. In 2014, they opted for a BouMatic milking robot because their milking parlour became too small. Working time was also an issue with their previous milking parlour and they always needed two people to do this job. Thanks to the robot, the work goes faster and they only need one person.

When starting our new barn project in 2016, we visited many installations in order to make the best choice for our milking system. After comparing similar systems of different brands, BouMatic’s SmartWay 90 rear milking system proved to be the best choice for us.

Frizzell Farm: Shares Thoughts on Success of Installing Miking Robots

Frizzell Farm: Shares Thoughts on Success of Installing Miking Robots

The Frizzell Family enjoys high productivity from their Valleyville Farms operation – a 1600-acre farm near Glen Valley on Prince Edward Island, Canada. In 2014, they installed four BouMatic Robotics milking robots, two MR-D1 double box robots and two MR-S1 single box robots. The units were installed directly into their existing barn with little impact on the overall facility. The Frizzell Family point to the flexibility of schedule that comes with the robots as a major benefit. It frees them up so they no longer miss family events and personal pursuits beyond the dairy - something they are all grateful for!

Edelweisz Dairy Farm: the milking robot changed the lives of the Van Aart Family

Frans and Thecla are still clearly delighted with their decision to go with the MR-D1. With a smile, Thecla finishes: “I am still very proud that we were the first to have the machine in our barn. It was a major event at the time: in the beginning, everyone came to look at it. They arrived in bus-loads and we even had some interest from Canada and America. We even set up a visitor’s book at one point. It is a bit calmer now but it remains a beautiful device. A little miracle!”

Schoorlemmer Dairy Farm: "more flexibility and better health"

Schoorlemmer Dairy Farm: "more flexibility and better health"

At the Schoorlemmer dairy farm, the Schoorlemmer family milk 120 cows with 2 MR-S1 milking robots from BouMatic Robotics. Since they made the switch to milking robots, they are much more flexible in the way they plan both their work on the dairy farm and their spare time. At the time they chose the BouMatic Robotics milking robots because of the way they fitted into their existing infrastructure, with milking between the hind legs and good selection possibilities.

Fam. Lenferink: experience with the Flo-Star MAX claw convinced us to go for BouMatic

Marielle Lenferink, is the eldest Lenferink daughter and she has the lead role in the family business. Marielle got acquainted with the BouMatic milking philosopy and quality during her internship in a BouMatic parlour. “We milked with the BouMatic claw, which felt so light! That experience from the past settled the matter for me when we had to invest in a new parlour system in our own company. I wanted a BouMatic! We also chose BouMatic because of its toughness, reliability and the stainless steel. I feel fortunate every day that we chose BouMatic!”

"We chose this rotary because of BouMatic's good reputation in reliable and durable milking rotaries for milking around the clock. Our new rotary is very functional, runs quickly and efficiently and it increased our milk production. We are milking remarkably faster with this new rotary. Previously it took us 5 hours to milk our cows with our 20 years old milking system; today we milk in one hour!
