Cows are to be fetched, according to this procedure, three times per day.

Approximate fetch times:

• 6am
• 2pm
• 10pm

Fetch procedure:

1. Fetch and work through the robot, all cows in the “Always Milk” selection
2. Fetch all red and yellow cows in the “Always Fetch” selection
3. Fetch all red cows in the rest of the herd (“No Selection”)
4. Move due-for-milking sort pen cows to the holding pen.  Any that have mobility problems should be worked through the robot

Selections are chosen in the Status / Milking Queue page by changing the drop down box that normally shows “No Selection”.

Evening chores should also include fetching of red cows only.
