[QUOTE="TomB, post: 5068352, member: 2094"] So [USER=90174]@Slowcow[/USER] with 60 cows you should only need about 15ha/40acres to graze them on. Unless you have really very little grass close to the farm then a mobile parlour is just a ridiculous idea. There’s too much work pissing about moving it probably tinkering with it to keep a robot running sweetly. Yes there is a certain challenge to it but i think the novelty/satisfaction of making it work would quickly wear off. Personally a 10/20 swingover would do the job very cost effectively and simply. It wouldn’t need a big building - 20’x40’ would do it. Just clocked that you are organic, so at a guess you’ll need to halve the stocking rate 80-100acres. What area do you have in your biggest block? It’s not that big a drama to cross roads (unless it’s the a30!) [/QUOTE]
