We really like the vms,we have 1 unit and run 65 cows. On a really good day we can get @2.65 milkings per cow in. We have a sort gate so there's no feed only or refusals to save time. It was a huge adjustment for us and the cows and for at least the first year we really thought we made a mistake but after the fetching came down and we got familiar with some of the maintenance and alarms we really like it now. You'd be surprised how many hours you still spend in the barn but it takes less labour as before we had me plus 1 full time and 1 part time now most days it's only me spending roughly the same amount of time as before maybe a little less in the barn. The cows are milking well and cell counts are easy to manage with the online cell counter. If you could ever go spend a full week at someone's farm before deciding to put one in it sure would be beneficial as we didn't find the salesman overly honest about what they're really like because he was pushing really hard to make the sale. Some people always regret the decision of putting them in but if you love milking cows tinkering with equipment and computers you'll do fine. People that don't typically do so well get under the impression they can sleep in every day and basically have nothing to do.

I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery.
