The Lely Calm does that all for you, Decreasing the milk supply gradually to zero in the next 35 days stimulates the intake of roughage and concentrates, allowing for good rumen health and a great pre starter as a Dairy cow 🐄.

It's ⭐Meet the Team Friday⭐ and this week we are getting to know our new Farm Management Support Advisor Becky Butland. Hi, I’m Becky and I joined Lely Center Holsworthy in June 2024 as a Farm Management Support (FMS) Advisor. Having grown up on a dairy and beef farm in West Devon, I have always had an interest in the agricultural industry. In this FMS role I will be able to support farmers to get the most out of their Lely products and achieve the goals they have for their business. I am looking forward to the variety this role offers and getting out on farm to meet our customers across the two counties. Before starting with Lely, I worked for the Tamar Valley National Landscape on the Farming in Protected Landscapes programme a Defra grant scheme providing funding for bespoke projects that deliver on at least one theme: climate, nature, people, place. Prior to this I spent 8 years with the NFU as a Farm Adviser supporting members across the country. My favourite Lely products would have to be the Astronaut milking robot; my brother has an Astronaut A4 at his farm and I have seen the benefits it has made to the cows, his business and his work/life balance. When I’m not at work I go kayaking on the River Tavy, am editor of the local parish magazine and help on the farm when an extra pair of hands is needed. #lely #lelyholsworthy #meettheteam #farmmanagementsupport #farmingsupport #farminguk #teamdairy

Great to be on farm with our barn products engineer Ian this week as he installed a reconditioned second-hand Discovery 90SW. Thank you to Jonny from Lely Atlantic Ltd. (UK & IRL) who helped Ian with the installation, providing an invaluable second pair of hands! This farm, near Chulmleigh in Devon, will now benefit from hourly cleaning. The SW model is equipped with a water nozzle which sprays water just in front of the scraper, ensuring the floor is cleaned more thoroughly. To speak to our team about adding the Discovery SW to your shed, call 01409 413122 / [email protected] #lely #lelyholsworthy #teamdairy #farminguk #lelydiscovery #manurerobot #installation

🌟 OPEN DAY 🌟 By kind permission of the Reed family, Lely Center Yeovil & Lely Center Holsworthy invite you to join them at Gatcombe Farm, Seaton, Devon, EX12 3AA on Thursday 11th July 2024. 🌐 To register your place, scan the QR code or head to https://lnkd.in/eSx_u7iS This one-day event will take place from 10.30am for 11.00 am start – 3.00 pm and will feature a selection of trade stands and presentations from local agri-businesses including FeedCo Ltd, West Ridge Farm Vets, Lockyer Agri Services and Semex. The Reed’s 350 cow herd average 11,770 litres a cow a year, with two of their five Lely A4 Astronaut milking robots achieving the golden figure of one million kilos annually in 2019, 2020 and 2021. One robot achieved 3,200 kilos of milk a day in 2020. More recently, the installation of five Lely slurry Discovery Collectors has instigated an even greater improvement in work life balance as sheds no longer need to be manually scraped. As a result, the team only spend three man hours a day applying sawdust to the beds, compared to 10 man hours a day slurry scraping and raking sand. Thomas says it’s saved fuel, machinery wear and tear and simplified the system.

🐄 Great feedback from Dave Waterman who uses Lely chemicals on his 2 x A4 and 1 x A5 robots... ☎️ Our bulk order and collection discounts are continuing so call Rob on 01409 413122 (option 2) for all your parts, chemicals and consumables requirements. #lely #lelychemicals #teamdairy #farminguk #lelyholsworthy
