Canadian Top Managed Herds of 2018 Announced


CanWest DHI, Guelph, Ont., and Valacta, Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, Que., are proud to recognize excellence in dairy herd management by releasing the Canadian top 25 herds based on the 2018 Herd Management Score results. The evaluation was done at a national level amongst a total of 7,000 herds.

The Herd Management Score allocates points for performance in different management areas (including milk production, udder health, reproduction, heifer rearing and longevity) and is an excellent indicator of overall herd performance. It is a great tool for herds to monitor their progress from year to year and also allows herds to benchmark themselves against others, including within their unique production system (free stall, tie stall, robotic, organic).

We congratulate these producers, whose sustained efforts have led to an outstanding performance.
