Combining teamwork and technology to elevate dairy herd management

Victory Farms is a dairy in Milbank, South Dakota, that is striving to improve efficiency and herd health, all the way from birth through lactation. While the dairy prides itself on the level of cow care, teamwork and top-notch genetics that are already in place, Victory Farms managing partner Kevin Souza felt there was even more they could do.

To move from gut-instinct calls to data-backed decisions and protocols, Souza turned to SenseHub® Dairy monitoring solutions.

With SenseHub Dairy, Victory Farms has elevated animal care and health management to a  new level

Implementing SenseHub Dairy and SenseHub Dairy Youngstock monitoring on every calf, replacement heifer and cow — paired with SenseHub sorting gate technology — has been a game-changing move for Victory Farms.

Protocols are set and followed based on SenseHub Dairy monitoring reports. When workers come in each day, they rely on lists of cows that need attention, whether it’s taking a closer look at their health status, breeding or other routine management. That translates into time and labor savings.
Highly accurate sorting gate technology identifies cows needing attention and automatically directs them into pens for management, eliminating routine use of headlocks.
SenseHub Dairy Youngstock technology alerts managers to calves that may need intervention, allowing for preventative care.

“My goal is eventually to have every animal on the farm from birth until it leaves to have a monitoring system. Those systems are pretty important. SenseHub takes all the human error out of it.”

Kevin Souza, managing partner, Victory Farms
