1 The Lely Grazeway Return Box
1.1 The Grazeway R
The Grazeway return box enables the registration of cows returning from the pasture to the barn, or from
the barn to the pasture. Cows can only open the gates of the Grazeway R in one direction.
Each cow has an identification tag. The Grazeway R has a cow identification system and detects the ID of
each cow returning into the barn (or going to the pasture). This ID is sent to T4C, the Lely farm
management software. In T4C this information and the information from all Lely devices that allow the
cows to move between the pasture and barn, is used to determine the time spent on the pasture.
Devices that can register the ID of cows and can allow them to go to the pasture are a Grazeway selection
box, Grazeway R and an Astronaut milking robot A3 or higher.
1.2 Intended Use
The Grazeway return box is used to identify cows returning from the pasture to the barn, or to identify
cows going from the barn to the pasture.
