We did it again! Announced at World Dairy Expo, DRMS won a third Innovation Award from Dairy Herd Management for the Heifer Genetics Monitor report. The Monitor helps determine the genetic value of both current heifers and heifers expected to be born soon. Two lists help with: 1) culling and breeding decisions for current heifers and 2) preparing for the offspring of pregnant heifers and cows. Both lists provide a Projected Heifer Cow Rank based on either the heifer’s parent average for Merit$ or her own genomic Merit$. See the Heifer Genetics Monitor Review for more details on this award-winning report! Vet Check Maxx was awarded a Top-10 New Product for World Ag Expo.

Which heifers should be culled to save costs? See the Heifer Genomics Guide Review for more details.
