When it comes to managing a modern dairy information is everything, but it’s only truly powerful when it’s connected. That’s exactly what FarmOps delivers. As Dave Hally explains, “The four pillars that FarmOps links up here is your AI, your Milk Recording, your Herd Health and your Compliance.” These are the core drivers of herd performance, and FarmOps brings them all under one roof.

Breeding data, for example, is automatically pulled in from your AI technician. This means every serve is recorded instantly, and FarmOps begins tracking repeat cycles straight away. There’s no more guesswork or scribbling down notes to remember which cow is due when.

Milk recording, once a task often overlooked between testing dates, becomes a constant source of insight. FarmOps imports results directly and highlights high somatic cell count cows, low yielders, or patterns emerging over time. Dave has seen the benefits first-hand: “Since I’ve started using FarmOps, there has certainly been a definite improvement in cell count. I would attribute a lot of that to being far more proactive to the information generated from the milk recordings."

That ability to turn data into action is where FarmOps shines. The system helps farmers and vets work together more effectively by providing real-time access to accurate information. Treatments, withdrawal periods, and ongoing health events are all logged and easy to reference, which not only improves decision-making but ensures nothing gets missed. Dave explains, "with the help of FarmOps and in consultation with my vet, herd health has certainly improved.”

Compliance is also taken care of in the background. Calf registrations, animal movements, treatments, and withdrawals are all tracked and stored, ready to present when needed. Whether it’s a Bord Bia audit or a Department inspection, you’re prepared with minimal effort.

By bringing all these elements together, Breeding, Milk Recording, Health, and Compliance, FarmOps gives farmers a clearer picture of what’s happening in the yard and where action is needed. For farmers like Dave, it’s not just about managing the farm more efficiently. It’s about farming smarter, responding quicker, and seeing real improvements in herd performance year after year.
