How has testing with DHIA bene tted your dairy?
Each cow has a recorded history...
Oren OlsenNicollet, MN Since 1958 - 58 years
Being on test means each cow has a recorded history. This helps with management decisions.
What are some of the different tests you use through DHIA? We havent done much of the extra testing, just the basics.
When you get yourDHIA reports, which information do you nd most useful? Explain. Individual SCC scores and action lists for preg checking and dryoff dates, etc.
Tell us about your farm. We currently have 65 Holstein cows, along with youngstock.
