Rogue Creamery<br />
Goes High Tech<br />
Sustainable, humane<br />
and, oh yeah, robotic<br />
WRITTEN BY LEE LEWIS HUSK<br />
MATILDA AND CHARLIE get right down to business<br />
when a cow presents herself for milking. With<br />
precise movements and unerring aim, they latch<br />
onto the teats and gently extract the essential ingredient<br />
for making the famed artisanal cheeses of<br />
Rogue Creamery. And they do it with udder indifference—because<br />
they’re robots, a technology<br />
just making its way into Oregon dairy farms.<br />
