The Robotic Milking Dairy
About a mile from the main dairy farm, located on Wingeier Avenue, is Swisslane’s “robot farm”. Built in 2011, this farm has 8 automatic milking robots and is also home to the maternity barn.
On a tour of the robot farm, you will have the opportunity to…
Watch cows being milked automatically by ROBOTS!
Learn about innovative farm technology
Visit the maternity barn and see the “dry” cows
Discuss how calves are born and how farmers take care of the cow and calf
Check to see if a calf is being born!
**There is no guarantee that you will see a cow in labor, giving birth, or a newborn calf.
At this time, we do not offer a tour to the robot farm alone, you must attend a main farm tour in order to visit the robot farm.
