The Baldauf family has been farming for six generations, outside the town of Immenstadt in the German Alps. Bernhard Baldauf enjoys the freedom that farming has given him, and although the herd on his farm has grown from 40 to 70, he still finds himself with less work in the barn. Before Bernhard Baldauf used to spend two hours milking in the barn. Thanks to his DeLaval milking robot, he has reduced the time spent milking by two-thirds, giving him flexibility and more family time. They always say that farmers cannot take a holiday. That is not true, according to Bernhard Baldauf. “We even went to Australia for four weeks.”
