Here in NZ we are starting to see automated milking sheds where cows can walk in at any time rather than the regular once early in the morning, once late at night. Laser guided cups attach themselves and milk the cows. Guess what they found out... the cows on average wandered in three times per day to get milked. (Mind you, over here cows live outside... I can't figure out how a battery cow farm would work)
