Why farmers choose MyHERD
Achieve Target Body Condition Score (BCS)
Flag your lightest cows for early dry-off, guaranteeing the condition you need for next season. Ensure every cow meets your calving target while keeping body condition on track.
- Record BCS for each cow and view their history over time.
- Identify cows that need early dry-off, based on calving schedule or current condition.
Manage Udder Health
Instantly spot high-SCC cows to dry off or cull, keeping your bulk tank SCC low for autumn pay-outs. Targeted treatments and strategic dry-offs reduce infection risk, protecting herd health and milk quality.
- Import herd test data automatically, tracking individual cell counts over the years.
- Use expected drying off reports to plan treatments and early dry-offs.
Herd Reduction / Culling
Use data-driven culling lists to remove high-cost cows before winter feeding begins. Make informed culling decisions, optimising herd efficiency and saving on winter feed costs.
- Record dry off events with reasons and dates.
- Customise your culling guide and compare production vs. health data.
