📊 Body Condition Score at turnout sets the tone for the grazing season.

Cows going to grass too thin may struggle to maintain production, while over-conditioned cows can face metabolic and mobility challenges.

At turnout, keep an eye on:
✔ Rapid BCS changes
✔ Milk yield fluctuations
✔ Feed intake behaviour

Small changes early can have a big impact across the season.

De variatie in elektriciteitsverbruik tussen melkveebedrijven is groot. De zuinigste veehouders gebruiken per geproduceerde kg melk nog geen kwart van de stroom van de minst zuinige veehouders.

Winter BCS

❄️ Winter BCS Check-In 🐄
Throughout winter, your cows need more energy just to stay warm and that can show up quickly in Body Condition Score.

Keeping an eye on small BCS changes through winter helps you spot issues early and stay ahead of:
✅ condition loss
✅ transition challenges
✅ fertility knock-ons later in the season

HerdVision makes it easy to monitor BCS daily, so you can adjust feeding before it becomes a bigger problem 📉📲

From cows to data: starting right from day one 🐄📊

After the arrival of the cows, we have started the implementation of Datamars ear sensors on farm.

Bringing monitoring technology in at the very beginning is a deliberate choice. It helps to:

establish good daily routines

support health and heat detection from day one

build management decisions on data, not assumptions

This is not about technology for show. It is about animal welfare, consistency, and building a strong foundation for herd development from the first lactation onward.

Respect to the team on the ground for the focus and commitment during this start-up phase.

In recent months, seven Delta bulls have been registered at CRV with 90 points or more for overall conformation. The absolute top is the widely used Delta Perfect (see picture), which received 94 points for overall conformation with 96 for legs. Delta Therapy, whose daughters are now entering the milking herd, received 92 points for overall conformation. The red-and-white Delta Sparkle was rated 91 points for overall conformation with 92 for legs. Delta Smash also scored 91 points. The nearly nine-year-old Delta Japan, popular in part for his aAa code 153, received 90 points with 91 for legs and the maximum score of 9 for leg use. Delta Charity and Delta Flagstone also scored 90 points.

❄️ What’s the Ideal BCS for Winter?

To stay healthy through the colder months, cows should maintain a Body Condition Score of 2.5–3.5 (on the 5-point scale).

⚠️ Too thin? They’ll struggle with cold stress and have higher energy demands.
⚠️ Too heavy? Risk of metabolic issues increases, especially around calving.

With HerdVision, you can monitor BCS accurately all winter, spot changes early, and keep your herd in optimal condition. 🐄📊
