2015 Redwood County Farm Family of the Year: Goblirsch Dairy LLC

Goblirsch Dairy is a family operation run primarily by Nels, Matt, Bernard and Mary Clare Goblirsch. The robotic dairy that is now located on the original homestead of Joseph Goblirsch, Bernard’s father, was built in 2005. Bernard and Mary Clare had nine children, two of whom help run the farm.

Nels and his wife Shannon returned to the farm after he completed his training in precision tool and robotics. The barn that now stands on the farm is composed of a 140 by 290 foot building with slatted floors and a manure pit below it. It was built to house four robots. In 2007, Lely Robots were installed. The barn also has 252 free stalls with water beds for cow comfort.   Click here for complete story!
