CowManager and Select Sires Inc., North America’s largest A.I. organization, celebrate a successful five-year partnership. CowManager has been on the market since 2012 in the United States and it has been at the forefront of cutting-edge cow-monitoring technology with their ear sensor. In 2014, Select Sires Inc. became CowManager’s dealer in the United States and Canada.

The partnership represents a strong cooperation with the drive to improve every day. Striving towards the same mission – ‘Improving productivity and profitability of dairy farms worldwide’ – brought both companies together.

Guus Oostveen, CEO of CowManager, says: “Select Sires Inc. has such a large footprint in the dairy industry in the United States and Canada. Local presence, reliable personnel, dairy expertise. This has brought us many successes in the past five years. Together we will bring CowManager to an even higher level in the future, by working closely together to develop our system. We look forward to more successful years together.”

Strong partnership

This strong long-term partnership contributes to the growth of both CowManager and Select Sires. It gives confidence in the market and adds value to all operations. Together they monitor the needs of dairy farmers, which CowManager considers in the continuous ‘over the air’ updates of the system. It is this dedication to customer success that ensures CowManager customers are always equipped with the latest developments.

Dr Ray Nebel, Vice President of Technical Services at Select Sires Inc. says: “CowManager has been an outstanding partner in Select Sires’ journey with cow monitoring solutions. As a true partner, they have listened to our requests for enhancements and developed a system that many others have tried to copy.
