Least squares means (95% confidence interval) for cows that were forestripped and animals that were not for-estripped, respectively, were 12. Each farmer with a robotic system still needs to be constantly overseeing the herd and engaged with the cows. Cheap dairy products and fluctuations in both the domestic and global markets have taken a financial toll on farmers.
