Robomilker

Automatically milks cows and mucks out after them.

Highly unlikely to find Sarah Connor.

Update: More here. I particularly like this bit (emphasis added):
Today, they manage their operation using both a traditional 40-unit rotary dairy, which is milking 239 cows twice a day on their home farm, while 171 cows are milked through their robotic dairy on the recently-purchased country.
A traditional rotary dairy? I'll have you know that back in 1939 the rotary dairy was known as the Rotolactor; and as for traditional, it was the centrepiece for Borden's Dairy World of Tomorrow at the New York World's Fair.

Have people no respect for the dreams of Future Past?
