Computer Training
I have mentioned many times how on Mondays we have a list of cows that need to be given specific shots as well as Friday we will have a list of cows that we need to bring home, but where do we get these lists? On our farm we have a computer program which we can directly connect to on our phones through an app VAS Platform. Today I spent some time familiarizing myself with the program on the computer and learning where I can find the information to create these important lists and how to enter health events such as mastitis or ketosis. Below is a photo from app on my phone and it shows us current information on any cow! For instance I did a simple search for one of our cows that recently calves and we can see that in her events tab. This shows the lactation she is in, which pen we can find her in, and much more. DIM stands for days in milk meaning how many days has this cow been providing milk during this lactation. I definitely plan to become more and more familiar with using the program in the future. Who knew farm work could be so techy!
