[QUOTE="Farmer_1994, post: 7208616, member: 91710"] We are looking at buying a neighbouring dairy that is currently set up as a robot facility with 2 gea boxes. Has a good newer barn and a pack barn that would be good for calving fresh cows out in. Our home farm is double 12 parallel parlour and we are limited for space and facilities to do a proper job of calving our fresh cows. Just wondering if it would work to calve our cows on the robot dairy and at around 40 dim move most of them to home farm? Calves would be raised to weaning weight at this robot facility as well. What are guys thoughts on this? Are we just asking for trouble? Cash flow wise it would be quickest return to crack on with the bots from the start, could fit a new parlour facility down the road if we wanted to on this location. Not tied to robots if we feel we can get better performance off a parlour. [/QUOTE]
