1996 was the start of an amazing manufacturing relationship between Christopher Dairy Bails and Jmar Engineering that continues to this day. The late Mr Theo Christopher walked into the office of Mark Hooper looking for someone to take an interest in an invention that has given an advantage to many operators in the dairy industry. He could not a found a better partner in the project
The Bail system offers a simple retrofit out to existing herring bone dairies to position the cows at ninety degrees to the milking rail. It also allows for tagging for specific bail feeding.
Today Theo’s son Steve continues the legacy and together with Jmar they have added value to the original design implementing technology such as CNC machining, cutting with Fibre Laser and pressing with computer aided Brake pressing and now welded with the Kuka Robotic welding arm.
“Theo would be absolutely amazed and thrilled at the technology used today” and to see the system still in production, now offering the system in stainless steel,” said Mark.
“Both Janice and I would like to acknowledge the association and personal relationship we have with Steve and Ali Christopher and can contribute our ongoing success to the Christopher Dairy Bail system.”
