[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 7804847, member: 718"] I hardly go anywhere these days. I'm thoroughly disgusted at the money wasted over the years at Trawscoed. The rotary went way over budget for various odd reasons and they never expanded the cow numbers [thank god, because their cow management was appalling around that time] and now they have ripped it out and put robots in, which I'm sure is so much fun for them. I remember the rotary being very rare and a Boumatic I think. They had engineers over from America to help install it, as no local installers wanted to know or take sole responsibility for the job. Also one of the installers was tragically killed when his transport was hit by a train on a level crossing. I wonder how maintenance heavy the machine was and who looked after it? I also wonder who is going to look after the robots 24 hours a day there and why they have decided to buck the trend and, I presume, keep the cattle indoors while lactating? What is their logic, if they indeed use logic? [/QUOTE]
