please enlighten me - how well do grazing herds complement the use of robots? Presumably there is a limit to how far you can expect a cow to go to graze and then return to be milked? As herd size increases, so will the distance required to walk to reach the paddocks. On an organic farm there is a requirement to graze and a need for even further walking to access the extra acres required.
Are the 2 - organic farming on a paddock system and robots just not compatible? Or perhaps part of the herd grazing close by fields on robots with a second herd grazing further away but being brought into run through a conventional parlour?
