Graphing DHIA Records to Help Motivate Dairy Clients

Abstract

Record keeping is not a favorite task of many of our clients. Our dairy producers on DHIA have the advantage over our other food animal clients of having a very valuable set of records generated monthly. The sad truth is that many dairymen spend a few minutes at most reviewing these records. Most, roughly know their reproductive and production figures, but only,roughly, and many do not know if they have progressed or regressed over the past 6 months.
