CowManager Technology Advances Real-Time Dairy Monitoring

CowManager Earns Top 10 Recognition at World Ag Expo

Cow monitoring technology has become an essential tool for modern dairy operations, helping producers identify which animals need attention and why. Among today’s advanced systems, CowManager stands out for delivering accurate, real-time insights that support smarter herd management, particularly with its new Find My Cow Flash feature.

By measuring ear temperature in combination with cow behavior, the system provides earlier and more precise alerts than traditional monitoring tools.  It allows farmers to quickly catch sick cows days before they show clinical signs, never miss a heat, and unlock your herd’s full potential.

The Find My Cow Flash feature “The flashing light on the ear sensor makes it easy to identify the right cow, heifer or calf, even in crowded pens. Activate the light from your app or desktop and spot your cow in seconds.” says the World Ag Expo website.

The innovation has earned a spot among the Top 10 winners in the 2026 World Ag Expo Top 10 New Products Contest, sponsored by the F3 Initiative. Cattle farmers can see the award-winning Find My Cow Flash in person during the World Ag Expo, scheduled for February 10-12, 2026, in Tulare, California.

CowManager tracks key indicators such as activity levels, rumination, and eating time, turning this data into practical information producers can act on. These insights help farmers better manage herd health, reproduction, nutrition, and transition periods, while also highlighting opportunities to improve overall performance.

The CowManager monitoring system has been recognized as one of the Top 10 winners in the 2026 World Ag Expo Top 10 New Products Contest, sponsored by the F3 Initiative. Award recipients will be featured at the World Ag Expo, taking place February 10-12, 2026, in Tulare, California.

The system monitors multiple aspects of herd management. Health alerts can appear up to three days before visible signs of illness, allowing for early intervention and improved recovery tracking.

Fertility monitoring helps maximize reproductive success by accurately identifying heat cycles and optimal insemination timing. Transition monitoring supports smoother changes around calving, leading to healthier cows and better production outcomes.

CowManager also supports nutrition management by helping detect heat stress, reduce disease risk, and optimize feeding strategies. Youngstock monitoring improves calf health, contributing to higher future milk yields and long-term herd productivity.

Additional tools enhance daily efficiency. The “Find My Cow” feature allows quick location of animals that are sick, in heat, or in the wrong pen. MultiView enables controlled data access for farm staff and advisors, while automated sorting and drafting functions help separate cows needing attention without added labor.

Together, these features help producers stay ahead of herd challenges, improve health and production, and manage workloads more efficiently.
