Cow Management Reports
|
| Cows that are eligible for breeding, based on a 40 or 60 day
Voluntary Waiting Period (VWP) are listed. Each cow's present
deviation from the herd's Mature Equivalent (ME) 305 day
Lactation Average is provided. You may decide not to breed a cow
with an especially large negative deviation from the rest of
your herd. On the far right, you can enter breeding information. |
|
|
|
| This report lists all cows that have been bred more than 35
days ago that have not been entered as confirmed pregnant in the
AgSource database. The report also lists all cows that have been
bred five days or longer and the date each will be eligible for
a 35 day pregnancy check. On the far right side of the report,
you can enter pregnancy check data or service sire information,
if the cow was rebred. |
|
|
|
| You are given three possible dry dates for each cow listed
based on a 60, 45 or 30 day dry period. On the far right side of
the report, you can enter the actual dry date. |
|
|
|
| This report lists all cows and the date they
are due to calve over the next two months. On the right side of
the report you can record calving information. |
|
|
|
| A Potential Culling Group is listed. Cows on
this list are at least 40 days in milk and have a Mature
Equivalent (ME) 305 day projection that is 10 percent or more
below the herd's average ME 305 day dollar value. For example,
if your herd's average 305 day production (on an ME 305 day
basis) is worth $3000, any cow with a 305 ME $ projection of
$2700 or less will be on this list. Cows meeting this scenario
will have a $DEV of -$300. All $ values are based on current
milk prices and your herd's Ranking Code. You can specify if you
want your herd's Ranking Code based on milk price, butterfat
price or a combination of milk, butterfat and protein prices.
