What I’d Do Differently Building a Robot Milking Shed (After 8 Years)

After 8 years of robot milking 120 cows, I’ve learned what works — and what I’d change if I was building our robot milking shed again. Robotic milking has transformed how we farm, but building design, cow flow, infrastructure and future planning make all the difference. In this video I explain: • Building width vs length in robotic dairy sheds • Cow flow and congestion around robot exits • Footbath layout mistakes • Power supply, water volume and drainage planning • Infrastructure oversights that affect robotic systems • Cow selection and breeding for robotic milking • Planning for expansion, slurry storage and yard access Robots don’t fix cow problems — they highlight them. If you’re considering robotic milking, this is what 8 years of real experience has taught me about building design, dairy cow management and long-term planning. Let me know in the comments if you’re running robots or planning to install them. 00:21 What 8 Years of Robot Milking Taught Me 01:05 Why Shed Width Matters More Than Length 01:28 Cow Flow on a Robotic System 02:19 Robot Exit Space & Footbath Design 03:34 Overspec the Infrastructure (Not the Robots) 04:03 Airline, Power & Utilities Mistakes 05:07 Water Volume & Supply Issues 05:49 Drainage & Heavy Rain Problems 06:30 Servicing Space Around Robots 06:55 Cow Selection on Robots 07:44 Nervous vs Dominant Cows 08:22 Teat Placement & Late Lactation Issues 08:41 Non-Voluntary Robot Visitors 09:21 Breeding for Robot Traits 09:50 Planning for Expansion 10:31 Slurry Storage & Future Capacity 11:13 Yard Access & Deliveries 11:38 Designing for the Future— Richard | Yorkshire Farming 🧢 Yorkshire Farming – Official Website & Merch 👉 https://www.yorkshirefarming.co.uk 📧 For enquiries, collaborations or business enquiries: yorkshirefarming@yahoo.com Acoustic Guitar 1 by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...
