The Evolution Automatic Calf Feeder from JFC is a revolutionary technology that has made calf rearing much easier and efficient for farmers. Ben Morris from Walton Hall Farm, Shrewsbury, Shropshire, shares his experience of using the JFC Evolution S4 model on his farm. Ben came across the JFC Evolution Automatic Calf Feeder while browsing Facebook and was intrigued by its features. After inquiring about the machine, he received a call from JFC and was guided by them throughout the process of installation and operation.
Ben's daily routine starts by topping up the machine with milk powder and checking the calves for any problems. He finds that the calves are healthier and happier, and not bawling or waiting for milk. He looks at the traffic light system on the screen to check for any problematic calves, and if there are no red crosses or any issues, it means that all the calves have had the right amount of milk and are doing well.
Since putting in the automatic feeder, Ben has been able to utilize his farm more efficiently and make it more productive. The consistency of the calves' weight and growth has been perfect, and they have sold their first batch, which was spot on. "The consistency and efficiency of the automatic feeder has allowed us to utilize our farm and barn more efficiently and make it more productive than ever before," said Ben Morris.
"Weaning the calves off was a lot easier than feeding them manually because say we can just alter it on the machine on the curve where they've come off". The JFC Evolution Automatic Calf Feeder is incredibly flexible, and it allows farmers to adjust feeding patterns according to the individual needs of each calf. The machine is easy to operate and comes with an app that he has installed on his phone.
This allows him to monitor the calves from anywhere and be alerted if there are any issues that need his attention. Ben recommends the JFC Evolution to any farmer who is considering moving to automatic calf feeding. He believes that it is a labour-saving technology that allows farmers to spend more time looking after their calves' health and well-being.
"Switching to automatic calf feeding has not only saved us labour and time but has also improved the health and happiness of our calves, making them easier to manage and ensuring their overall well-being". The JFC Automatic Calf Feeder has been a major investment for Ben, and it has delivered significant benefits to his farm. It has saved him time, improved calf health and happiness, and ultimately, has made his farm more profitable.
The Evolution Automatic Calf Feeder is an innovative solution for farmers looking to increase their efficiency and productivity. Ben's experience with the machine has been excellent, and he highly recommends it to other farmers looking to invest in the technology.
