I dont know anything about computers, how easy is it to use?
Many of our customers started out that same way. But with our Herd Management program, rated as one of the easiest and most user-friendly program out there to move around in. All the menu and buttons are always right in front of you to guide you through the program.
Thats exactly what this program will do for you! You can track all the daily events that occur for your cows, heifers and bulls. Track events such as breedings, freshenings, treatments, dry offs, vet checks, and vaccinations plus much, much more. Plus you can also print out reports that help you in your daily activities such as Due to Freshen, Vet Check Worksheets and Due to Dry Reports.

These interfaces bring in your milk production directly into the program so no hand entering is being done.
