“My favorite part of using Alta COW WATCH on a daily basis is looking at the dashboard. I bring it up every morning, looking at the overall herd deviation, as well as any pens that are off feed, or just not right. You walk through at any one point in time and you can see a lot of things that happen but having a 24-hour surveillance on the cows – unbiased – it gives you the ability to watch the cows’ natural habits.”
