Robots and parlour

[yin ewe]

Plenty who have robots only milk the cows in them from day 1. We milk cows in ours for colostrum for the calf immediately after calving.

Mines go into the Robot straight away after calving, works fine. I was just thinking if you could keep her away from the robot for the first few days until her tubes had worn off. Wastes a lot of time with the robot flushing out after every milking.

Would it be to early to move cows to robot by 3 dim?

Ours are usually milked in the robot within an hour of calving.

Yeah we want to put them through the parlour for 3 to 7 days to keep an eye on them at the main farm before we send them to the robot farm. We only want to bring cows over once a week ideally.
On another note we found a used double 10 parallel parlour from delaval that is priced very nicely. If we can get that fitted for an agreeable price we will probably go that route.
Many options at this point.
