  • 3 mounts need to occur in a 2 hour window for the cow to be moved to”Active Cows” list. This is set to filter out false mounts.
  • After 6 hours, if the 3 mounts do not occur, the cow will automatically fall off the watch list.

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

Active Cows

 

 

 

 

 

  • Once a cow reaches the “Active Cows” list the 3 mounts that occurred will be displayed on her individual page and a notification is sent.

 

 

  • A cow is only removed from “Active Cows” in 2 ways:
    • One: Select “Remove this Cycle” at the individual cow page.  This removes all mounts and resets the cow.  Use this to delete false mounts that get past first filter.

      OR

    • Two: Select “AI/ET” button on individual cow page.  This moves the cow to your selected breeding schedule.
