Gregg Blatchley | Walk Over Weigh System

I find that the importance of using a unit like a Walk Over Weigh system is to give us visibility over what's happening in the herd. It allows us to do a stocktake. It allows us to know what animals are in a paddock. We know the performance of those animals. It certainly takes out that labour cost.

Stafford and Sarah Adams 50/50 share milk 420 cows at Glenavy. They started share milking in 2012 as lower order share milkers but have worked their way up. The biggest challenge is always getting cows in calf. Since using Active Tag they've noticed much happier staff, and a lot less time spent picking cows for AI.
