Robot Milking!

Yes there is a such thing called robot milkers. It can be hard to believe that there doesn't have to be a person out milking the cows. The robots milk them for you and records how much milk the cow gives, how long it took her to milk all on a computer. The cows come to the robots by themselves or sometimes you have to go and get them if the cows aren't used to the robots are new. How the robots work is they use lasers to find the teats to wash and put the milking inflations, they also spray the teat dip on after the cow is done milking. Some advantages to the robots are more consistant milking, less staff required more time to do other things on the farm. A farm that lives close by has three of the robots, they are the neatest thing to see!
