Labor Cost Control: The Payback of Robotics on Large Herds (remote presentation) Farms with these different calf feeding systems will represent automated feeding systems, milk replacer and feeding large batches efficiently, and pasteurized milk with a balancer. The goal is to have attendees come home with innovative ideas on ways to improve the things that they can control within their calf feeding systems. The remaining time is open questions from the audience. After a short intro to the panel, the farmers will have prepared short talk describing their calf feeding system, successes and road blocks, reasonings and points of economics to why they do what they do. Three large dairy farmers with differing calf raising systems will be a part of our pre-conference Panel session. There’s more than one way to feed a calf.
