🐄 Are you recording cases of lameness and mastitis on your farm?

These health events can have a bigger impact on your herd than many farmers realise. Recording them doesn't just help you keep track of problem cows. It also improves the accuracy of key tools like EBI, helps inform breeding decisions, and supports better herd health management overall.

Whether you use the HerdPlus App, desktop, farm software, or a paper recording sheet, keeping accurate records can make a real difference to the future performance and profitability of your herd.

🎥 Watch this quick tutorial on how to record lameness and mastitis on the HerdPlus App.
