Farmers say 150 thousand to get single robot and setup going if different you may let me know

Cause it gets so much cheeziar in life!

6.000 euro a cow maybe even 8.000 euro

A5 are usually rated around 60-65 cows, so 240-260

Europe doesn't give one farm that much money.

Why not? I estimate a cost per cow around $12,500 for the new barn. Suppose the cows produce an average of 1-gallon more per cow, and they can produce milk for one more year due to better living conditions: more space, better ventilation, better light, lower temperature fluctuations due to better insulation, greater comfort, and less stress. Add to this less health expenses due to hocks, fungus, mastitis, etc. at $100 per hour per additional vet visits once a week for six months per year. Add to this less expenses in 20-years for not building a new barn. This barn has milking robots which means at least two fewer people working in it every year. People usually work 12-hour shifts. This means at least 3,000 hours per shift per worker. At $15 per hour, this is $45K per worker, and for two workers this is $90K per year. So add $90K per year. Therefore: ($0.35-per gallon x 250 cows x 365 days x 7-years) + (10-gallons x $0.35 x 250 x 365) + ($100 per vet visit x 25-weeks x 8-years) + ($90K for fewer workers x 8-years) = $1,282,937 lower costs. This reduces the cost to $6,869 per cow. Every eight years, the same amount can be reduced again. In other words, the new barn will pay for itself in 16-years, and it will outlast many barns, and my numbers are erring on the side of caution. I actually think they will do better than this. How many barns do you know that can pay for themselves in 16-years?

@@ek9772 you’ve obviously never heard of the the likes of Siobhan Talbot, who do you think is paying the €9,000,000/year salaries.

for such a modern and new building? You are right. A big mistake

With this setup it will cut cows out when coming out from milking to do any health or breeding work by the cow managers request

There are self lockers up by the robots. We have the same idea as this in our barn. You can program the robots to route the cows to the sick pen for breeding or treating a sick cow.
