Use online reports in conjunction with paper reports, or go fully digital to eliminate the postage fees. To go fully digital you must “turn off” printed reports.
Online reports provide earlier access to data allowing for quicker management decisions. Additionally, multi-owned or multi-location farms all have quick access to management reports.

Online report acess cost is dependent on herd size: 1-100 cows = $2 per test accessed; 101-500 cows = $4 per test accessed and 501+ is $6 per test accessed.
