What's next?

Thwaites revealed that the next stage of updates is already planned, aligning with the feedback from farmers, and driven by a desire to create cost-effective and collaborative solutions on farm.

“We strongly believe in collaboration within the dairy industry,” says Gavin. “Rather than reinventing existing solutions, our philosophy is simple: let’s work together to maximise value for our customers. That’s why our Auto-Drafter integrates with leading cow wearables and herd management platforms. These solutions enhance the capabilities of our drafting technology.”

“Farmers should not have to change their gate when they invest in new cow monitoring technology, why not just have one drafting solution that works with all of them?”
