CowManager^®

AHEAD OF THE HERD TOGETHER

CowManager^® is a revolutionary herd monitoring system that provides accurate information about your herd's fertility, health and nutrition around the clock. All measurements are taken by a computer microchip that is placed in the ear, either on an existing EID button or the optional blank EID eartags, making it unique from most other systems on the market. The system includes modules that provide individual action alerts for health, fertility, nutrition, transition and youngstock by constantly monitoring activity, rumination, time spent eating and ear temperature. This system incorporates several plug and play components including the sensor, the router/coordinator and a reliable internet connection to access the CowManager program. The Find my Cow and Sort my Cow features also integrate into your dairy to sort and find animals saving time and labor. CowManager helps you to reach your goals. Whether your herd is large or small, you'll have eyes on them all.

Transition Alerts at Blue Star Dairy | Catching Issues Early

Health

CowManager Health Module is your extra set of eyes on the herd, 24/7. By combining ear temperature with behavior like rumination, eating, and activity, it spots deviations early—often before clinical signs show up—so you can step in fast. The result: fewer sick cows, smarter treatments, better performance, and more peace of mind.

Nutrition

Great feeding starts with knowing what your cows are actually doing at the bunk, and CowManager makes that clear. The Nutrition module tracks eating and rumination patterns to help you prevent issues like heat stress and nutrition dips before they hit milk or health. With real-time insights, you can fine-tune rations and group management to keep cows comfortable, consistent, and productive.

Transition

The transition period is make-or-break, and CowManager helps you stay ahead of it. Transition Monitor flags cows at risk up to 50 days pre-calving by watching changes in eating and rumination, so you can act before problems like ketosis or milk fever start. That early heads-up means healthier fresh cows, smoother starts to lactation, and fewer costly surprises.

Fertility

CowManager Fertility Module turns heat detection into a simple, reliable routine. The ear sensor tracks activity and behavior to show you who’s in heat, who’s irregular, and who may need a closer look, plus insights for pregnancy or abortion risk. You get a clearer breeding picture, tighter timing, and more pregnancies with less time spent watching pens or tail chalking.

Youngstock

Healthy calves are the start of a high-performing future herd, and CowManager Youngstock helps you protect that potential. Using an farm-specific algorithm, it monitors calves 24/7 and sends early alerts when behavior shifts signal illness. That means quicker care, lower treatment costs, stronger growth, and more productive cows down the road.

Find My Cow Flash & Locator

Need to find one cow in a sea of ears? Find my Cow does it in seconds. Use Flash to remotely trigger a bright LED on the sensor, or grab the Locator for real-time direction and distance. They both can cut down searching time, streamline workflows, and help you act on alerts right away.

Find My Cow

Sort Gate (Sort my Cow)

Sort my Cow keeps flow smooth and stress low. Integrated with CowManager, the gate automatically or manually drafts the right cows—health checks, heats, treatments—exactly when you need them. Less labor, shorter lock-ups, better welfare, and a sorting process that finally feels under control.

CowManager allows me to keep a good handle on what is going on with cows or heifers in heat without being there to watch them. I really like the CowManager app. I am able to watch the alert data all day long. The information provided allows me to determine when to breed cows based on the data. With the help of CowManager, we were able to get an A.I. service into nearly every cow and heifer before they went to summer pasture with clean-up bulls. I am looking forward to using CowManager to improve our success in putting in embryos. I like this system a lot and have recommended it to other beef cattle owners.

With the dairy industry changing so rapidly, the farming community has to adapt. Everything we do today will affect tomorrow. That’s where family comes into the family farm – we want to be here, we want to pass it on. CowManager is another tool in our arsenal to be more profitable, productive and efficient.

A money saver? CowManager is a money maker! The Fertility module has paid for itself in one year with lower days in milk, timely and cost-effective artificial insemination, and better heat detection. We actually paid for the Health module with the results of the Fertility module.
