"“We had just tested and I sorted by deviation to know which cows to zero in on. That’s been quite helpful.” Dean Putt, OH
"“As soon as PCDART is updated from my AMR, I have instant updated milk weights when I sync. Totally awesome. The coolest app ever!” Gerald Fieser , FL
"“Automatic updates and having heifers are great! The fact that I have it with me all the time is the best!” Carol Timmerman, IL
"”Installation and sync went without a hitch.” Freddy Rowe, KY
"“We’re starting to wonder how we managed PRE-PD Android. The information on the phone has tremendous value. Keep up the great work.” Joe Shockey, DVM, WV
"“It gets better with every update!” Mark Sowers, VA
"“This is a wonderful management tool for our dairy. Having the information on your phone means you always have it with you, because leaving the house without your phone is like leaving the house without your hat on, IT JUST DOESN’T HAPPEN!” Darron Schoen, MO
What users are saying about PocketDairy PPC and Palm
"The program has helped us be much more efficient in our daily operations. Herd
input is more accurate and much faster. Vet checks are easier and we get more for our money with the vet. Making decisions on the spot about culling,
sorting, and many other tasks is now very easy. I know that we are making better decisions, and we do not have to run into the office to look up cows
every time an important decision must be made. This translates into more profit for our operation through efficient decision making ."
Jonathon Loper,
manager of Rio Leche Dairy, New Mexico (1,600 milking cows)
"PocketDairy lets us keep track of information on the spot instead of having to
write it down and reenter it at a later date. We can record such things as body condition scores, sick cows and cows in heat without going to the office.
One of the best features is the cow page, which allows us to view individual cow information while we are out in the lot. Seeing a cow’s history is
really important, especially with over 1,000 cows!"
Ryan Hooper, herdsman with Zwemmer Dairy in Elkton, MI (1,000 + milking cows)
"When we got to about 200 cows, we had to do something computerized to better
record events and manage cows. I wanted a good pocket computer, because my computer’s at home (which is not adjacent to the dairy operation).
PocketDairy really enhances management. Information is available at your fingertips."
Bill Grammer, Grammer Jersey Farm, Ohio (350 milking cows).
