Move to Milking Herd

Modified on Wed, 15 Apr at 3:54 PM

This worklist is used to move cows from the colostrum pen to the main milking pen. 

Suggestions for Columns

  • DIM (days in milk)
  • Last calving date
  • Age (Years + Months)
  • Lactation (number  calvings)
  • Rumination time
    • Last 24 hours: rumination from the current time yesterday through current time today.
    • Yesterday: rumination from midnight to midnight on the previous day.
    • Average: the average rumination time from the last 7 days.

Suggestions for Filters

  • DIM greater than (>) 4 days
  • Production Status equals (=) Lactating
  • Pen equals (=) your colostrum pen

Additional filter options:

  • Add a limit for a minimum amount of rumination before moving the cows.
    • Rumination time greater than (>) your defined value. Last 24 hours or yesterday's rumination time is likely the logical choice for a filter here. 
  • Add a limit for birth date or lactation number to move cows into a young herd/older herd.
    • Birth date less than (<) a specific date
    • OR: Age greater than (>) 1400 days (3 years 10 months)
    • OR: Lactation greater than (>) 2 (for 4 year olds and older)
  • Opposite limits can be set for the youngstock.
