 Report Extras

 

In your packet:

·        The “Herd Management Comparison” report on tan paper shows your key herd data for January of 2009 compared the same data from one year ago, so you can note progress.  There is also a goal column that is standardized to a 10% improvement (we hope to allow you to customize that soon).  The last column is the breed average for your state, or for a larger region for breeds with fewer herds.  This report comes out twice a year and replaces the old report that was included with local annual meeting packets.  Sending them with your reports helps protect your privacy and provides you with the information in a much more timely fashion.

·        The “Test Day Bulk Tank” report is printed on white paper and replaces the old Tank Contribution report that was on yellow paper.  The new report has much larger print, and the “Value Adjusted by SCC” column now applies the deduct or premium based on the individual cow SCC.  Previous SCC has also been added for your convenience.  At implementation, all herds on the SCC option will get this report.  In the future, you will need to order the report through your Field Rep.

 

On your farm on sample day

·        Ask your Field Rep to print inventory lists for 2008 calendar year.  Get a list of cows sold, cows that died, calves sold, calves died, or any combination.  Have the report listed in any order you prefer.  Specific commands have been provided to your Field Rep on their computer message screen.
