What do you consider the best surface for lanes/paths for optimal cow flow towards paddock and back to the robots?

Infrastructure for grazing farms goes beyond the farmyard, having cows motivated to walk to the paddocks and back to the robots voluntary is key to get your targeted amount of visits.

But what surface in your opinion is the best for a grazing farm, and why?

  • On our farm, we’ve found a gravel base with a fine top layer works best. It drains well, stays firm in wet weather, and the cows walk without hesitation. We added rubber mats near the robot and gateways, and it really helps with grip and reduces hoof stress. Comfortable lanes make a huge difference when cows are moving back and forth all day.
