Yeah I remember it cost my dad 500,000 in the 80's to build. Who knows what the cost today would be.
145 000 to 175 000 € but thats for a small one with 1 milkingstall, or rather tiny if we compare american farms and austria xD (most farms with a milkingrobit have about 40-80 cows)
My dad had over 2500 cows
i never read about usa farm but saw like 2 documentaries, i assumed you had like 500 :O
No we had twenty five hundred cows. 2,500.
Wow, that's almost 2670 cows!
Two and a half cows doesn't sound like that much.
But what do you need millicow precision for?
And a farmer in the US would probably have to import it from more innovative countries which had to invent those machines because they had no slaves to exploit.
