Foot bath time for the Fleckvieh incalf heifers.
This foot bath automatically washes itself out and then replenish itself with a clean foot bath solution after a number of cows go through it.

On farm this morning with farmer who started up last year with 2 A5s. Decided to use railway sleepers for cow paths. On less trafficked cow paths, plan is to turn sleepers lengthways so path only will be 1.5m wide.
Due to huge expansion of automated barn equipment Lely Center Mullingar is currently looking to hire additional Service Technicians.
