Precise Insights

Mike Paulus, owner of the American family business Paulus Dairy: “When the kids get here in the morning they can check the computer and they see which animal needs the most attention. They then can go right to that animal. It eliminates a lot of walking of pens looking for sick animals.”

Less Labor

British dairy farmer David Edwards about running his business more efficiently: “It doesn’t miss a thing. CowManager has been a big help on our farm because like most farms at the moment, we’re all short on labor. Anything that can be so thorough and save you money, I would recommend it to other farms.”

Better Rested

For New Zealander Mike Marshall, work-life-balance is key to increasing on-farm efficiency. “We’re able to spend more time at home with family. We’re more rested and able to notice things that we wouldn’t have noticed otherwise.” And of course, sharing data with his staff is a big plus. “All our staff have the app on their phone, so everybody can use it, everyone knows what is going on.”
