Plumpton Head Farm

With a herd of over 300 cows, Richard Threlfell, owner of Plumpton Head Farms, has embraced technology to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and create a happier and more productive work environment for his staff, solving labour issues. “The CowManager system is everywhere day and night, saving you 1 or 2 men. It’s a lot less time for your staff, making them happier and more productive. The App allows everyone on the team to conveniently access all detailed cow behaviour information.” This data-driven approach allows the team to catch potential issues before they escalate, ultimately reducing the need for antibiotics and minimizing downtime for sick cows.

Smart & Simple: How CowManager Works

Ear Sensors: Your cows have an ear for it: accurate information. Our ear revolutionary sensors collect data about your herd’s fertility, health and nutritional status.
(Solar) Routers: All real-time data is transmitted from our ear sensors and collected by wireless (solar) routers. These routers can be placed anywhere: in barns or pastures.
Smartphone and PC: Receive all the data on your smartphone and computer. Get real-time cow information, 24/7.
Herd Management System: Our system integrates with more than 40 herd management systems worldwide. When calculating alerts, we use data from both systems. Together we do better.

In the United Kingdom, CowManager is distributed and supported by World Wide Sires. No one knows the system better than them.
