Draft my Cow

The CowManager Drafting Gate. NZ-made and built to last. Two-way draft cows based on alerts.

Seperate and draft cows in one go

The new CowManager Drafting Gate efficiently two-way drafts cows based on CowManager’s heat and health alerts. Available in New Zealand.

Improved Efficiency, Right Out of the Gate

The CowManager system can now be used with our very own drafting technology – exceeding your need for labour savings, technology integration, and operational efficiency. Let the automatic drafting gate to the hard work for you during busy days. Especially during mating season, when it’s all hands on deck. Draft my Cow helps you tackle these workflow challenges.

The automated drafting gate works by receiving alerts from CowManager ear sensors, allowing you to easily divert cows who signal an alert and need attention, all while maintaining smooth cow flow and minimising herd stress and disruption.

More Control with Cow Drafting

Donovan Croot from Clovalley Farms in Taranaki is pleased with his new cattle drafting system. He’s experienced a significant change since implementing the cattle drafting gate. He says:

“The CowManager drafting gate has significantly improved farm efficiency with its accurate and quiet performance. It allows precise control over cow drafting – either scheduled in advance or in real time – and integrates with CowManager to automatically draft cows based on heat and health alerts.”

Farming Takes a Village

As a dairy farmer, you regularly have to rely on staff and advisors to run your business effectively. And of course, CowManager’s real-time data always keeps an eye on your herd. What if you could combine those two? That’s where MultiView comes in. Because successful farming takes a village.

Cow Data Tool for Advisors and Specialists

With the MultiView function, important data is made available to multiple parties. Give veterinarians, herd managers, AI specialists, nutritionists and researchers remote access so they can monitor your herd’s performance, completely changing the way business is done for the better.

With this cow data tool, you all have access to the same information, making it much easier to keep the herd on top of their game. After all, a prepared farmer is a successful farmer. And a prepared team means a more successful and more efficient farming business.

Rich Cow Data History

Keep an eye on that one cow whose temperature diverts from the rest of the group. Know when to inseminate. Monitor a cow that’s recovering from mastitis. Analyse rumination and eating behaviour. CowManager gives you a complete overview of cow data. Let advisors optimally support you and your dairy farm by adding them in MultiView.

Dive into a cow’s data and history, dating all the way back to your install date. Analyse graphs and alerts and look at a cow or group before actually visiting your farm. Closely monitor your cattle’s health, nutrition, and fertility together, and make fact-based decisions.

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

Cow Drafting Reduces Labour

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 labour 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.

CowManager Drafting Gate

Auto Drafting Integrations
