Dr. Sam Fessenden: Experiences on a Robot Dairy

Dr. Sam Fessenden gives us a very personal tour of his Silver Spirit Dairy, the Minnesota Dairy he runs with his wife and her parents. He shares some of the building, cow behavior considerations, and nutritional approaches he has taken in his first year working in a 120-cow with two Lely A5 milkers. This is Sam’s third Nutritionist Webinar and you can find his webinars on using Farm Data in Nutritional Models and optimizing formulating in the CNCPS model in our archives. Not just a great speaker, Sam also helped create the Robot Tutorial in our AMTS Video manual on YouTube. This webinar concludes our 2021 Nutritionist Series.
