Monitoring system + sort gates = Easier cow management at Wesen Farms

Описание: “It was pretty much a no-brainer — it saves us a bunch of time every day,” says Mitchell Wesen.

At Wesen Farms, a 100-year family dairy farm in Washington, herd management just got smarter. With GEA’s CowScout activity system and sort gate technology, they have transformed how they manage reproduction, monitor cow health and save on daily labor.

“Heat detection rate for the last 21-day cycle has jumped up about 20%. It was relatively low in the 45% range and this last heat detection rate was up to 65%,” says Wesen.

Managing cows across multiple locations doesn’t have to mean more time in the truck or long hours chasing records. With CowScout Cloud, farmers have instant access to their herd data from any device.

“We really liked the cloud-based platform, being able to look at everything from our phones since we’re milking at the two different locations,” says Wesen.

From cloud-based insights and on-farm convenience to faster, more accurate sorting and improved breeding efficiency, GEA’s technology is helping Wesen Farms save time, improve reproduction and manage their herd more effectively.

“The GEA team has been very supportive throughout all this — they’re always a phone call away.”
