Key takeaways:

Decisions are made on the basis of 24/7 monitoring rather than the seven or eight seconds the cow is on the vet stand.
Improved heat identification has led to an increase in the six-week in-calf rate and a corresponding reduction in the empty rate.
Easier identification of poor performers leads to improved herd genetics.
