The Hutterite Farmer in the DELL® – Robot Milker
He uses a computer to milk the herd!
A Saskatchewan dairy farm is using high-tech robotics and a computer program to milk the cows while the farmers sleep.
Eli Waldner, dairy boss for the McGee Hutterite Colony near Rosetown, Sask., told CBC News the system has made his life a lot easier. For starters, it has eliminated the need for him to get up at 3:00 a.m.
Instead, a computerized milking and feeding system looks after the chores, 24 hours a day.
Each cow in the herd wears a chip that communicates with a central computer.
The system begins with a cow, feeling the urge to be milked or fed, moving through a series of gates to a stall where the animal knows it will be tended to.
The computer system knows if Bessie is due for a milking or ready for more feed based on the history it has stored for each animal.
Sensors pick up the cow’s chip to provide location information, allowing the computer to open the appropriate gates to guide the animal along to either a feeding station or the milking system.
Inside the milking stall, a robot arm takes over.
It uses laser beams to check udders and direct a fine spray to wash and disinfect teats.
Then it attaches hoses and starts milking. The computer will even perform an individualized — and important — lab test.
“It can take a sample of the milk and actually do a cell test,” Phil Bourke, a veterinarian familiar with the system told CBC News. “So it can pick up blood or abnormal colour in the milk. And if it is there it can divert the milk to a waste system.”
The system costs approximately $330,000. However, Bourke said that can be paid back in one year through increased milk production.
The system is new to Canada but has been around in Europe and other parts of North America for the past 15 years. Bourke predicted that in the next 10 years, most dairy farms in Canada will have a robot.
Waldner said it has allowed him to sleep in until 6:00 a.m. and even then there is not much work for him.
“Actually I wouldn’t have to get up at that time. But I want to give hay,” he said.

Who You Are Makes A Difference – Never Been Unloved
Please take the time and watch this video in its entirety.
Perhaps you NEEDED THIS today.
An Amazing and Inspirational Story.
Music By The Great Michael W. Smith
Song is: Never Been Unloved.
Lyrics:
I have been unfaithful
I have been unworthy
I have been unrighteous
And I have been unmerciful
I have been unreachable
I have been unteachable
I have been unwilling
And I have been undesirable
Chorus:
Sometimes, I have been unwise
Ive been undone by what I’m unsure of
But because of you, and all that you went through
I know that I have never been unloved
I have been unbroken
I have been unmended
I have been uneasy
And Ive been unapproachable
Ive been unemotional
Ive been unexceptional
Ive been undecided
And I have been unqualified
Chorus:
Unaware, I have been unfair
Ive been unfit for blessings from above
But even I can see the sacrifice you made for me
To show that I have never been unloved
PS: Please Comment With Your Thoughts! Who are you going to pass this on to?

Hutterite photography project provides candid glimpse to colony life
Hutterite photography project provides candid glimpse to colony life
By DIANE COCHRAN
Of The Gazette Staff
LEWISTOWN – An art project that put disposable cameras into the hands of four dozen Hutterite children has provided a rare glimpse into one of the state’s most recognizable but least understood cultures.
“A Week in the Life of a Hutterite Child” depicts ordinary moments on six central Montana Hutterite colonies through 36 photographs taken by children who live on the colonies.
The color and black-and-white photos, taken last fall, are part of a traveling show that will be displayed at the Yellowstone Art Museum later this year.
“Giving them the ability to show their unique lifestyle to people who have had no exposure to Hutterite colonies seemed like a natural thing to do,” said Cheryl Bannes, an artist who organized the project. “I hope people who see the show will be a little less afraid to ask questions.”
About 4,000 Hutterites live in about 40 mostly self-sufficient communities across Montana.
They are religious pacifists who share the work and the wealth in their communities, but they are known to their neighbors, whom they call “the English,” as agricultural producers who wear homemade clothes and speak with German accents.
“In a way, it’s almost like stepping back in time a little bit when you come to the colony,” said Karen Matovich, a teacher’s aide at Ayers Colony School near Grass Range.
Bannes distributed 50 disposable cameras to six colonies – Ayers, Fords Creek, Spring Creek, Deerfield, Loring and King – in August and September.
She said only one colony resisted the idea, but its leaders eventually changed their minds.
“Most colonies said they didn’t want children mugging for the camera,” she said.
Instead, kids were instructed to capture scenes from everyday life. Each community selected a week during which pictures were taken.
At Ayers Colony, 15-year-old Ramona Stahl snapped photos of women in the kitchen and of other kids riding horses across a field.
“I took that picture because I think city people should do that – ride horses to go out in the field,” she said.
Other images show colony members harvesting potatoes, picking berries, skinning animals and sewing.
In one shot, a girl in a traditional ankle-length skirt and head scarf swings a baseball bat.
In another, two small girls peer into the lens from behind a piglet one of them is holding aloft.
There is also a boy hugging a dog, a pair of worn cowboy boots, a past-its-prime jack-o-lantern and a group of women making pies.
“You could see how they progressed from ‘Isn’t this fun to take a picture?’ to really composing a picture and telling a story,” said Bannes, who is a metalsmith and photographer.
Bannes and a committee of Hutterite parents narrowed 1,200 pictures down to the three dozen that were framed for the show.
“I was amazed,” said Susan Seastrand, the teacher at Ayers Colony School. “They took some really good pictures.”
Seastrand said her students, who live on Ayers and Fords Creek colonies, have told her they do not feel discrimination when they interact with non-Hutterites.
But they and their parents would like “the English” to have a better understanding of colony traditions.
“We don’t have the same life as they do,” said Rachelle Stahl, 14.
