Auto Drafting

Checking your herd for alerted cows is no longer necessary with our automated drafting solution. Fully integrated with herd management systems.

Let the drafting gate do the work for you

No need to go through the cow alert list, manually checking for alerted cows and separating them from the rest of the herd. Let our Auto Drafting functionality do the work for you!

Auto Drafting Cows Based on Alerts

Why go through the cow alert list manually when a tool can do it for you? Checking your entire herd for alerted cows during milking is no longer necessary. With our Auto Drafting functionality cows that require special attention are drafted automatically, based on their heat or health status.

The smart filters and customizable schedules of the auto drafting tool ensure that the right cows will be waiting for you after milking. This personalized approach helps to make one of the busiest times on-farm a bit more efficient, taking away unnecessary stress.

Cow Drafting Reduces Labor

Breeding or mating season is a notorious ‘all hands on deck’ kind of period on-farm. Multiple team members and specialists need to be aligned, focusing on a mutual goal. Good results require a lot of preparation before the season starts, to make the long days during the season itself run as smoothly as possible.

The use of a draft or sort gate can help you with this. It’ll save you loads of time, reducing needed labor units as well as lowering the overall workload. The Auto Drafting functionality takes care of the software side of the season, making sure all cow data is being processed and stored correctly and different systems are working seamlessly with each other.

Auto Drafting Integrations

The fully automated Auto Drafting solution offers a seamless integration with various cattle management systems, including well-established names like DeLaval, Protrack, and Jantec. These integrations simplify herd management, enhancing overall productivity and welfare of cattle.

Benefits of Auto Drafting

Fully Automated

Based on heat or health alerts, cows will automatically be separated from the rest of the herd.

Reduce the Workload

One less thing to worry about equals less daily stress - especially during breeding season.

Adjustable Settings

Let the system adjust itself to you instead of the other way around. Set up custom time schedules and filters.
