Choosing a System

The Target Market

Are we in this for the long run? Is this a short term ‘fix’ to utilise current market opportunity? How many animals will require care at any one time?

Staff / Skills Available

Who will do it? How experienced are they? How would they adapt to change? What level of stockmanship is available? Who will do the job when key personnel are absent? What level of mechanical knowledge is available? Can we train others to do this work?

Services

Water

Mains/borehole/spring Normal pressure (constant)? Clarity (clean)? Would an update prove a big expense?

Power

Is supply consistent/reliable and available at all times of the year? Do we have a back-up supply? How modern is the wiring on the farm?

Bedding - Supply and Removal

Availability and storage for clean bedding? Options for disposal of soiled bedding? Will ‘calf staff’ be expected to do this? To what degree are these tasks mechanised (tractors, loaders, handling equipment)?
