“Being the breeder I look at the cows every day and pull up my CowManager, and I can see exactly how far they are into their heat state, and I know exactly when to breed them.”

 

Triple M Dairy

Meet Maria, a passionate dairy producer and herdsperson from Triple M Dairy in West Union, Iowa. On this family farm they milk 300 cows. In 2017 they switched to CowManager, a decision they haven’t regretted.

Before CowManager, Triple M Dairy was running a different cow monitoring system that seemed efficient at the time of purchase. However, as years passed, they realized the need for a new solution. That’s when CowManager came to the rescue. The Select Sires CowManager Specialists (representatives) demonstrated the system its capabilities, convincing the family to make the switch.

“We decided to switch from our previous heat detection system, mainly because of cost and just from doing our research on CowManager. We noticed how much higher conception and preg rates are and what the potential we had was with CowManager.”

Maria, being the breeder on the dairy, relies on CowManager daily to monitor the cows’ heat cycles with its accurate data on heat states. Beyond its functionality, Maria emphasizes the great support they receive from CowManager’s Select Sires Specialists.

“Everyone’s just a phone call away or they make time to come out and answer your questions. It’s super simple.”

At Triple M Dairy they can’t imagine the dairy without CowManager anymore. The system’s performance has resulted in higher conception and pregnancy rates, ultimately leading to more efficient and cost-saving farming practices. It also contributes to the overall well-being of the cows.

“It’s been a great investment for us. CowManager is, I would say, one of the best investments you could make.”
