Rosehill Dairy | Tru-Test Active Tag wearables

We've seen huge improvements since using Active Tag collars. Our milk production has gone up 20kg per animal and our dry rate has dropped 6 percent. We've gone up 90,000 milk solids and that's quite significant.

Owner

Kenny Baynes is the owner of Rosehill Dairy, 20km out of Gore. He runs 1000 cows and has been milking for 16 seasons. Before using Active Tag, he was sorting the cows manually using tail paint, but he wanted to improve consistency and productivity. The decision to go with Active Tag came down to value for money as well as the great service and back-up.

Stafford and Sarah Adams 50/50 share milk 420 cows at Glenavy. They started share milking in 2012 as lower order share milkers but have worked their way up.
