ORANGE CITY, Iowa – The Iowa State University Extension and
Outreach Dairy Team will continue its monthly webinar series with a look at
“Executive Analysis Reports” on Wednesday, March 17 from noon to 1 p.m.
Executive Analysis Reports are made available through the
Dairy Herd Improvement Association (DHIA), including the Transition Cow
Management reports and the Udder Health Monitor report.
Greg Palas, manager of support services at Dairy Records
Management Systems (DRMS) at Iowa State University, will present the program.
Palas will provide a hands-on webinar reviewing report generation and points on
using the reports to tweak herd management.
Fred Hall, dairy specialist with ISU Extension and Outreach,
said executive reports are often underutilized despite providing valuable
production information.
He said producers often get accustomed to one or two
reports, and may not realize the full breadth of information available. The
webinar will be an opportunity to help producers expand their reach.
“Like everyone, we get really accustomed to the one report
we’re most familiar with, and hopefully during the webinar we’ll be able to go
over some of the reports that maybe don’t get used to their fullest potential,”
said Hall.
He said there is always something new for dairy producers to
consider, even if they are already using executive reports.
Producers, dairy consultants and industry representatives
can attend the webinar at

Registration is not required and participation is free.
An archive of past dairy webinars is available on the ISU
Extension and Outreach dairy team website.
