Monitoring Repro & Health
CowManager:
Dedicated & Unbiased Employee 24/7
O
riginally very skeptical that the CowManager cow monitoring system would actually work, Mike Johnson of Trailside Holsteins, Fountain, Minnesota, decided to “test” it by purchasing 20 tags. Mike is now a firm believer and all breeding cows have tags. The well-managed Trailside Holsteins LLC has 500 cows on sand-bedded free stalls and farms 1,200 acres of corn and alfalfa hay. Trailside is family owned and operated by Jon, his son Mike and wife Margaret. They are passionate about creating a quality product while taking care of their cattle, community, environment, family, and future generations.
Relying On Real-Time Info 24/7
Mike Johnson gets help with the CowManager tags from the next generation at Trailside Holsteins LLC, Fountain, MN: one-year-old Levi and three-year-old Sawyer.
Initially, Mike purchased CowManager to increase heat detection and reduce hormone usage, but this system has given
him that and so much more. They were considering hiring a herdsperson to monitor herd health because there just weren’t enough hours in a day to do a good job. Mike adds, “To be able to look up any cow, at any time, on my phone and make decisions about her in real time when I am at cow side or at home has been very beneficial to me.” Mike admits that all the data can be overwhelming at times. Now that he’s familiar with the system, Mike has become reliant on the information and would be challenged to manage without it.
Saving Money In Several Areas With CowManager
Prior to investing in CowManager, Trailside had been utilizing a fully timed A.I. program (PreSynch, OvSynch, ReSynch). In addition, for a year they had been tail chalking to help increase the heat detection rate. Since starting to breed the cows utilizing CowManager in January 2015, the repro program has been so successful that Mike has gradually implemented several changes: 1. Shots (and related costs) have been reduced - breeding more cows off natural heats a. Catching more cows in heat after the Voluntary Waiting Period (VWP) b. The first prostaglandin shots were moved back to 58 DIM and 72 DIM and cows are bred off of them. If cows are not inseminated by 86 DIM,
they are enrolled in OvSynch 2. Breeding more cows at the optimal time of insemination 3. Three months after all the breeding cows had CowManager tags (tags are currently put on as animals enter the prefresh "To be able to look up any cow, at any time, on my phone pen), tail and make decisions in real time has been very benefi- chalking cial to me." Mike Johnson, Trailside Holsteins LLC was eliminated (they no longer hire a company to do that), saving them money. Mike notes, “At this point, I was
timed OvSynch program. This is probably one of the factors that has contributed to Trailside’s repro analysis summary showing that the percent of cows confirmed pregnant at less than 150 DIM has jumped from 36% before CowManager was installed to 45% now.
Utilizing Modules Together
Using the health module in conjunction with the fertility module to confirm heats is one of the “biggest benefits” of CowManager, notes Mike. In their herd when a cow is actually in heat, rumination time decreases and eating time increases. Mike explains that this helps him separate the cows that are actually in estrus from the ones that have increased activity from pen moves, cystic cows and false heats.
Detecting Health Problems Sooner

confident enough in the system to stop tail chalking and it’s been going great.” Mike also notes that with CowManager they are catching more cows in "Select Sires is a progressive company that I look forheat at ward to partnering with well into the future." 19-22 Mike Johnson, Trailside Holsteins LLC days since last heat and identifying cows that come into heat early or late on the
Prior to CowManager, Trailside really didn’t have any tools to monitor cow health. With CowManager, early detection of mastitis, fresh cow illnesses and subclinical respiratory infections has been substantial. “I am treating cows sooner, which sometimes means I am able to use supportive medications instead of antibiotics,” states Mike. Then, he uses temperature, eating time, rumination time and activity time to determine if the treatment is working or if further action is needed. “I am definitely catching the majority of sick cows earlier. In most cases, there is a faster recovery and the cows bounce back sooner.” Because Mike constantly looks at the information, he can take immediate action to intervene if a cow only temporarily responds to treatment and then takes a turn for the worse. Mike concludes, “The service I have received during and after the installation of the CowManager system has been extremely valuable and timely. Select Sires is a progressive company that I look forward to partnering with well into the future.”
CowManager: The Best Investment Heieie Has Made On His Cows
T
odd Heieie, Brooten, MN milks 120 cows and was looking for a way to improve the heat detection on his dairy. After researching the options, Todd installed CowManager from Select Sires. “The ear tags seemed like a better way of monitoring cows than other systems out there,” explains Todd. Since installing CowManager in February of 2015, Todd has seen an increase in reproductive performance on his dairy. “Heat detection has been amazing, especially at night. I’m breeding more cows than I was with visual heat detection,” states Todd. The Heieies are getting cows pregnant faster - 44% of the cows are pregnant at less than 150 days in milk compared to 29% in November 2014. Todd believes CowManager’s
health module has been a big benefit to the dairy. He continues, “It helps us find sick cows sooner and helps us make management decisions on individual cows.” The herd is now at 134 SCC compared to 381 in November. The mobile version of CowManager has also been a valuable tool and asset for Todd. “I can be in another state and still see everything that is going on with the cows.” Todd feels CowManager is a very good investment and declares, “CowManager is the best money I’ve spent on my cows - it just works!”
The Heieies consider CowManager to be a wise investment: Sara and Todd (back row) with Max, Gunnar and Annika (front row).
CowManager “Will Pay For Itself In No Time” At Barsness Dairy
W
hen Peder and Susan Barsness, Starbuck, MN were looking for a way to efficiently manage their cows, they decided to purchase CowManager. They felt that the CowManager ear tags seemed like a worry free way to monitor herd health and manage heat detection compared to a collar system. “The ear tags are easy to put in and you don’t have to deal with the hassle of switching collars from cow to cow,” notes Peder. The Barsnesses installed CowManager and attached 130 CowManager ear tags on Christmas Eve of 2014. Since then, they have relied 100% on CowManager for heat detection. “Before CowManager, I would have to jump out of the skid steer to try and see the ear tag of a cow in standing heat in the barn. Now with CowManager, I can trust the system to tell me who is in heat 24 hours a day,” states Peder. The CowManager ear tag is detecting cows who usually don’t show strong heats for the Barsnesses. “I recall breeding five cows who were not showing visual standing heats, but were showing heats on CowManager. When I palpated them,
they felt great and I bred them. Three of the five were pregnant on the next herd check and that’s exactly what I want!” explains Peder. The herd’s overall reproductive performance has improved. The average DIM pregnant has dropped from 176 days to 149 while the 21-day pregnancy rate has improved five percent. Susan Barsness is also a big fan of CowManager. “When we are on vacation with the family, I’m able to look at CowManager directly from my phone. It is reassuring that I can still monitor the farm when I’m away from home and check in with employees about alerted cows,” says Susan. The Barsnesses utilize CowManager’s health module for early identification of cows that are getting sick or have displaced abomasums. When asked about their investment in CowManager, Peder replies with confidence, “It’s going to pay for itself in no time for us. It was a no brainer!”
Susan (on left) uses the mobile phone app to monitor the cows when they are on family vacations and checks in with employess about cows on the “alert” list. Susan is pictured above with her daughter Abbie and husband Peder.

ince Dr. Paul Fricke, University of Wisconsin-Madison spoke at the 2015 Central Plains Dairy Expo, a 30 percent pregnancy rate (PR) on a 30,000 pound dairy herd has been the topic of great interest. Fricke encouraged producers not to be happy with a 20-24% pregnancy rate, but instead strive for 30%. Herd reproductive performance is critical for profitability, and pregnancy rate affects a multitude of areas on the dairy including days in milk, culling, number of replacements born, days open, etc. Fricke stressed that producers need to focus on four key areas to achieve a 30% 21-day pregnancy rate:
1. Aggressively inseminate cows at the end of the voluntary waiting period (VWP)
Above: a 300-cow herd that does not heat detect. If a cow is open at preg. check, they re-enter her in a synchronization program. By utilizing heat detection, an activity monitoring system, or Resynching with GnRH seven days prior to preg check, the herd could increase 4% PR, which could easily save them from $13,000 to $20,000 each year ($44 to $71/cow/yr * x 300 cows). * ReproMoney ProgramÂŽ UW-Madison, Cabrera
Many dairies struggle with getting semen in cows in a timely manner after the end of the VWP. Today, a variety of tools are available that can help. Monitoring devices (such as CowManager and Heatime) and tail chalking programs increase the efficiency of estrous detection. As well, synchronization programs and timed A.I. can help you get semen in virtually all eligible animals.
2. Increase fertility of first A.I. Inseminating at the proper time so that semen reaches the healthy and viable egg is important. Some of our producers are determining the best time to inseminate by looking at the activity graphs of CowManager and Heatime. Many of our producers use synchronization programs to utilize
hormones in a structured schedule to initiate ovulation and allow the implementation of timed A.I. Therefore, compliance to the protocols is critical. In a PreSynch/OvSynch protocol, even 95% compliance at each dose isn’t enough because that only translates to 77% compliance across the entire program. GnRH based synch programs are also successfully used to induce cyclicity in anovular cows.
3. Identify nonpregnant cows and aggressively reinseminate them Relying on synchronization of ovulation and timed A.I. can improve first service A.I. insemination rates. However after first service, cows that do not become pregnant too often fall through the cracks and do not get re-inseminated during their next heat cycle because of poor estrous expression or detection. Because 60% or more of lactating cows will fail to conceive to a given A.I. service, timely rebreeding of these cows is essential for improving reproductive efficiency and profitability. Vet palpation or ultrasound for pregnancy diagnosis is also important to determine if a cow is cystic, noncycling, or in the luteal or follicular phase of the reproductive cycle.
4. Increase fertility of second and greater services Studies have shown that even if a cow does not become pregnant after the first service, it is possible to achieve a 30% pregnancy rate. Monitoring systems and ReSynch programs are excellent options to improve reproductive efficiency. There are many options for ReSynch programs, including those that can be initiated before pregnancy determination. To hear more about which program would best fit your dairy, contact your Select Sires professional or myself at 320-229-8346. Select Sires can help you reach your goals.

‘Think Globally-Act Locally’ that’s what we do for you!
A
global company, Select Sires, Inc. is dedicated to enhancing the productivity and profitability of dairy and beef producers. But, the beauty of Select Sires’ structure here in the U.S. is that it is comprised of nine farmer owned and controlled cooperatives that are focused on the local needs of their own members. As customer-owners of Minnesota Select Sires Co-op, Inc., you expect your cooperative to profitably serve your herd’s genetic development and reproductive needs. We are built to serve the type of producers that expect results---the best their available dollars can buy. AND we do it with local expertise, local employees who are part of your community, working together for strong beef and dairy industries in Minnesota and North Dakota.
2015’s business year is much stronger than anticipated. This is a great sign that our customers’ businesses have remained healthy following a year like 2014. You’ll find the growth of the Coop this year is coming very strongly from both dairy and beef customers. Our professional service teams are hard at work heat detecting and inseminating while our genetic and reproductive technical experts are providing additional guidance. We’ve also seen a strong continued investment in cow monitoring systems and this year the CowManager system is leading the charge. I’m extremely proud to be part of the growing number of individuals that are making success happen every day. With 55 passionate, dedicated employees, your cooperative is strong, growing and local.

Apply For Scholarships By Oct. 31
T
oday’s youth are the agricultural leaders of tomorrow. Minnesota Select Sires is continuing its tradition of supporting the future of the local dairy industry by awarding scholarships to students pursuing agricultural careers. The cooperative inaugurated the program 14 years ago. Minnesota Select Sires General Manager Chris Sigurdson comments, “This scholarship program is one part of our effort to be a foundational “champion” of the local dairy and beef industries. The program has allowed us to get a great sense of the impact our leaders of tomorrow are already having on our industry. Being responsive to our members’ needs is one of the fundamental goals of our cooperative, and helping their children achieve their educational pursuits has been well received.” Chris notes that considerably fewer students have applied for the scholarships in the last couple of years and encourages all eligible students to apply.
Two deserving students were selected as winners of the $500 scholarships this year. This year’s winners are: Andrew Krause, son of Charles and Robyn Krause, Buffalo, MN; Susan Hintz, daughter of Bob and Debbie Hintz, Flasher, ND. Qualifying candidates must be a family member of a Minnesota Select Sires cooperative member in good standing, and must be completing at least the first semester of the second year in a two or four year program. Applicants need to submit an application, grade transcripts, and a written essay. In a blinded approach to judging, the selection committee evaluates 1) dairy industry pursuits, 2) academic achievement, 3) active involvement in activities aligned with support of the dairy industry. If you or someone you know is interested in this year’s scholarship, applications are due October 31, 2015. For more information, contact Minnesota Select Sires at 800-795-1233 or mnselect@mnss. coop.

A History Making Day By Russ Heckmann
Genetic Consultant and Account Manager
7Ho11419 Headliner
Never before have the top six proven Holstein TPI sires resided in the same location. That residence happens to be stud code 007. 7Ho11351 Supersire leads the charge. With 934 NM$, he stands head and shoulders above the competition. This sire settles cows at a high rate (+3.3 SCR) and with a tremendous CFP of 182, he should find his way into most semen tanks. Outstanding health traits combined with very functional type completes the package. The exciting news does not end with Supersire. Select offers five sires over 700 NM$ and 19 sires in the 90th percentile and above. Some of our most popular sires moved up nicely in their NM$: McCutchen +49 Petrone +93 MacGuiness +44 Punch +73 Supersire +100 Mogul +41
7Ho11585 Sterling
Our lineup has a lot to offer: 35 sires under 7%CE (7Ho11283 Mayfield is 3.8%), 9 sires over 100 CFP, and 48 sires plus for SCR.
New Grads Join The Team
The eight new graduates to our Holstein lineup will have an impact on our customers for years to come. 7Ho11525 Donatello, 7Ho11585 Sterling and 7Ho11524 Dante are all over 700 NM$. A few highlights include: 5 over 1000 M 3 over 2500 TPI 4 over 120 CFP 6 over +6.0 PL 7 are plus for DPR 6 over 1.20 UC

The L-form Lactobacillus, along with the other specialized ingredients in the BioCycle line of products, enhance the animal’s immune system to overcome the negative effects of everyday challenges and stress.
feed mills mix the concentrate directly into their rations. Some feed mills are keeping inventory in stock or you can have the product shipped directly to the feed mill. Ask your nutritionist or feed consultant if they are already doing this for other customers. Or contact Chad Christensen at 651-764-2175 and he can make arrangements for you. It will save you time and the hassle of mixing at the dairy.
