100 Years of Milking:From Buckets to Robots

Hand Milking 1880-1920
• 4 cows milked/hr
• 8 cows/farm
• 40 acres with ¼ to feed Horses
• ½ of US population lives on Farms– 12M farm workers in 1915, 1M in 2015
• Life Expectancy 54 yrs

Market Sector Trends• Strength and Growing – Butter – Dry dairy products – Meat
• Strength & Declining – Cheese
• Weak & Declining– Fluid milk– Ice cream

Cost of Milk Production: Wisconsin • Cost of Production
$27 /cwt• Value of Production
$19 /cwt• COP-VOP
-$8 /cwt
• COP – Operating Cost$3.2 /cwt
• Robotic Milking– Increased Capital cost – Modest decrease in hired labor
• Shift to higher skilled jobs
– Must have increased productivity to be viable
• More milk per cow • Better cow health and longevity• Reduced vet cost, labor turnover
The Cows Appear to Like Them
