Jim Sr., Jim Jr., Evan and Harrison Kiko and Families hosted the Ohio Holstein Association Summer Breeder Tour at their farm in Paris, Ohio on Saturday, August 12. We had the opportunity to see their facilities that house 3 Lely A5 robots and a great herd of cows. Katie Esselburn, the Lely Farm Managment Support Advisor with W.G. Dairy was the guest speaker, giving the basics of what folks find as changes in their herd managment after adding milking robots to their operations.

It was a beautiful day and setting and we were very appreciative of the host family and farm! Below are some of the pictures taken of the day!
