Discover how the owners and staff at Summit Farms, Plymouth, Wisconsin, work with CowManager everyday.
Marcus Hollmann, nutritionist and consultant for Summit Farms: “I really like the outstanding graphs. They capture not only the snapshot of the herd today, but also let me view changes over time very quickly, comparing eating and rumination times. CowManager is a tool in our toolbox to respond quickly, finetune the cows’ diet and essentially make the dairy more profitable.”
Connie Loehr, General Manager at Summit Farms, says they used to work with collars before they switched to CowManager ear sensors. “We chose to go with CowManager just because of the ease of getting away from collars. Adjusting collars all the time was a real pain. These tags are simple to use, they’re easy to put on. We currently have sensors on all of the cows and we put the sensors on heifer at six months old because they’re out on pasture. That way we can monitor more easily if someone is not feeling well.”
Catch sick cows early, prevent surprises after calving and make breeding a breeze. CowManager makes sure you’re always a step ahead.
