”smaXtec has become something i can trust and truly rely on.”

As a first-generation dairy farmer, Dan Henning has put in countless hours to build a herd that stands out in both performance and health. His dedication is evident in the impressive results:
“I'm a first generation dairy farmer with a herd averaging 98 pounds on 2x a day with high components and low somatic cell count. I just take pride in my cows and in what I do,” says Dan Henning. For him, the smaXtec system has become invaluable: ”It has become something i can trust and truly rely on.”

Particularly the farmer points out the calving alerts: “The calving alert really helped me to get cows to calve in the maternity pens and not in the close up barn.”

Health has always been a priority for Dan Henning, and the smaXtec technology plays a huge role in maintaining it. “Just overall health has been a big key part from catching cows for ketosis or mastitis. My sold and died numbers went way down, the only time I sell a cow now is for low production,” so the farmer.

The ability to track natural heats in both cows and heifers has been another game changer for Dan Henning: “ It has also helped me pick up a lot of natural heats between cows and heifers i really save on my time and the cost of shots by having so many natural heats.”

By accurately identifying natural heats, he has been able to save both time and money. The insemination costs have decreased, and he’s now breeding more efficiently, thanks to the smaXtec heat detection.

Dan Henning’s success story is built on hard work, smart investments and a commitment to animal health and care.
