With two off-farm jobs, three young daughters and 50 milking cows, Corey and Janette McDonald are very interested in efficiencies.in 1949, and since Janette grew up in Middle Musquodoboit, she doesn’t find Milford all that rural., Sunnycroft Farms will do a virtual presentation of its robotic milker, which, when it was purchased on Kijiji in 2019, necessitated an addition to the barn.
Watching a cow get milked by a robot, especially seeing how it seeks out the teats and latches on, is fascinating.“They wear an ID tag and it contains their cow information. We have what’s called a Smart Gate, so when she walks through that gate it reads the tag and if she needs to get milked, she’ll go to the robot area. If she’s been milked and wants a bite to eat, then it takes her to the other side of the barn to the feed bunk.
“There’s more connections made, there’s a better business relationship when there’s a new business in town, and they can talk about what it is that business is creating, whether it’s ice cream or cheese,” she said. “There’s a story behind it, and we are part of that story.” “The DFNS board is working on some changes. There’s been a lot of industry consultation with all dairy producers in Nova Scotia, just under 200 dairy farmers. It’s been taking place over the last two years. We’re part of the P5, which is Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and P.E.I. all working together. It’s called a milk pool, so we’re actually able to produce a little bit more milk in Nova Scotia because we’re also selling some into other provinces.
