Improve mating results

Great results start months before mating. Monitor recovery post-calving, confirm cows are fully fed, and identify non-cyclers early for intervention. Then, when mating starts, you’ve got all the data to make decisions that lead to more cows in-calf sooner and more milk in the vat next season.

    “Great mating results don't happen in isolation. It's understanding how cows recover, and feeding them well consistently. Every day you can look at your numbers in Halter and if they’re not on track, you can do something about it.”
