Cow Crowd Gate CowMander

GEA offers four different cow herders that can be integrated seamlessly into your existing system. They are available in different sizes with optional functions so that you can find the perfect system for your dairy. All of the automatic herding systems are designed to save you time: Instead of sorting cows into different groups and guiding them to the milking parlor manually, this is all done at the touch of a button. The herd is guided gently and stress-free towards the milking parlor, where the herding effect is amplified with a visual or acoustic signal.

• Cows are herded calmly and gently
• Automatic group selection
• Available in different sizes and layouts
• Low-maintenance with robust technology
• Higher milk yields, smaller workload

Which solution is right for you depends upon the specific requirements of your dairy. Below is an overview of the range of cow herders offered by GEA.
