99 | How a Texas Dairy Beats the Heat to Hit 55% Conception Rate

Welcome to central Texas, where summer days exceed 100 degrees and heat stress is one of the greatest threats to cow health, reproduction and performance. 

But since adding monitoring technology to their 1,250-cow herd last year, dairyman Hidde Osinga from Overwhere Dairy is using collar-collected data to:

• Find and treat compromised cows sooner

• Catch silent heats 

• Capture 15 percentage points on conception rate

Find out how his team has learned to trust the system, and hear about Hidde’s excitement for the future of dairying in this episode, part of the High-Performance Mindset Series, powered  by Nedap.
