Roder GbR - Improved quality of life through increased flexibility

In order to improve quality of life through greater flexibility, back in 2017, Stefanie and Felix started thinking about automatic milking systems and looked at different systems in action at their peers’ farms and compared their advantages and disadvantages.

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.

Ferme BMG Gaudette: Confident in their choice of robot

Brothers, Benoit Gaudette and Patrick Gaudette are the co-owners of B.M.G. Gaudette Enterprises. The Gaudette family farm is home to one MR-D1 and one MR-S1 BouMatic Robotics milking robots. They also have a poultry operation and do cash cropping. Most recently they received the dual attachment technology with the 3D camera.

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!
