Never spend time manually pushing feed again!

This ensures that your cows have access to fresh, high-quality feed around the clock – even lower-ranking animals in the second feeding group. And this in turn benefits you as your animals’ rumen health and general comfort     improves, their milk yield can increase. The FRone is a valuable addition to any dairy farm.
