Managing water on a dairy farm can be stressful, especially during hot summer months—but Gallagher’s Satellite Water Monitoring System is changing that. Sam Waugh, farm manager at Donald's Farm NZYF, no longer has to rely on manual checks or react to empty tanks in panic. With alerts sent directly to his phone, he can address small issues before they become big problems. The system not only saves time and ensures the herd stays well-watered but also gives Sam the confidence to step away from the farm, knowing everything is under control. Peace of mind makes all the difference. https://lnkd.in/g6MkyYGF

NZ summer challenges for calves call for smart management. In this recent article from Anexa Vet Services, "Keep calves thriving in the summer heat," vet Katrina Roberts highlights several strategies to maintain calf health during the hot season. One of our key takeaways was the importance of regular weighing. During high-risk times like summer, monthly weighing is crucial – it ensures your system is on track and quickly flags any calves that may be falling behind when feed is limited.   Consistent weighing provides valuable data to help you make the best decisions at the right time. Discover how our innovative weighing solutions can support your herd management and keep your calves thriving all summer long via the link in comments below.   And read more from Anexa here ➡️ https://lnkd.in/g7hnuqmB #LivestockManagement #GallagherWeighing #CalfCare #SummerLivestock
