Here it is! The robot has a steel arm.
The front two quarters were finished; she was almost done in the back.
Sarah Post, 2014 MN Princess Kay Finalist, was explaining to people of all ages how they work with robots on her farm.

Brushed on the robot for cleaning the teats prior to attaching the milking unit.
The view of the robot from inside the barn. The red cow is getting milked, the black cow is just hanging out, and then there is a cow behind her waiting her turn for the milking robot.
My son in front of a robot of another kind — one used to push the feed up to the cows. Cows love having their feed pushed up all the time!
It is such a pretty farm.
Young heifers.

In their office.
Merri taking a moment to chat with people about her farm.
An absolutely gorgeous evening at Middleroad Acres!
