Project description
Clydevale Holsteins is a family run business situated at Macorna North in Northern Victoria.
Adrian and Cheryl Dee had moved from Clyde North to Macorna in 1980 onto a 200-hectare irrigation property that was previously owned by Cheryl’s father, Phil Robins. They brought with them 80 Holstein cows and four young boys.
So started a family dairying business that would change the landscape of the black and white breed in Northwest Victoria. The family was looking to reduce the human workload within the business and decided to explore robots and barns to suit 500 cows.
The barn is 192 metres long by 57 metres wide, with a drive alley, two feed alleys, four compost areas and two robotic milkers per quarter.
The project also included feed bunkers, a 3,600m2 concrete silage base, an effluent system/solid separation system for the compost barn, floodwash tanks, feed silos, bunds and effluent dams.
Features:
Build duration: two-years
