So we have the animals in their own environment, they are free to be a cow 12 hours a day,\u201d he said. \u201cThe only time that they\u2019re interrupted is when they go to the parlor and then again by taking them out of that parlor, the ParlorBoss now allows us to see each individual cow as they\u2019re coming off and limits the amount of time that they have stress on them by being in headlocks.\u201d<\/p><p>Once an animal completes its milking cycle, it is directly routed either back to its assigned pen, or for breeding, medical assessment, or any other factors the dairy wants to track. Enrique Hernandez, the production manager at High Plains, said the automated process is great at reducing stress on the cows, but it\u2019s also good for parlor staff.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-cea9d31 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"cea9d31\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-41e00ec\" data-id=\"41e00ec\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b171d3a elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"b171d3a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"526\" src=\"http:\/\/vas.com\/it\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/05\/img_1428-e1587677746583-1024x673.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-18898\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/vas.com\/it\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/05\/img_1428-e1587677746583-1024x673.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/vas.com\/it\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/05\/img_1428-e1587677746583-300x197.jpg 300w, http:\/\/vas.com\/it\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/05\/img_1428-e1587677746583-768x505.jpg 768w, http:\/\/vas.com\/it\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/05\/img_1428-e1587677746583-500x329.jpg 500w, http:\/\/vas.com\/it\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/05\/img_1428-e1587677746583-600x394.jpg 600w, http:\/\/vas.com\/it\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/05\/img_1428-e1587677746583.jpg 1077w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-25d9175\" data-id=\"25d9175\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e36f969 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e36f969\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u201cThe biggest benefit of what we\u2019re doing right now is the cows tend do more of what they\u2019re supposed to be doing, which is eating, trying to lay down, and not being as stressed out,\u201d Hernandez said. \u201cRight now we\u2019re probably only handling about 1 percent of the cows that we need every day. Before ParlorBoss, if we were to lock up all the cows that we needed we\u2019d probably be locking around 60 percent of the herd. So, it\u2019s a big difference. I think it\u2019s a lot better for the cows.\u201d<\/p><p>For employees, it means significantly less walking from pen-to-pen to pull cows for maintenance and treatment, and much more efficiency.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0ff8210 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0ff8210\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u201cThe way the parlor is set up with ParlorBoss, we do less walking and so most of the time we\u2019re just waiting for the cow, we show the cow and then we work the cow whether she has to go to the hospital, or breed her and then put her back in the pen that she came out of,\u201d Hernandez said. \u201cSo, just physically I think it\u2019s a little bit less work for the employees as far as the walking they do right now.

At High Plains in rural Kansas, recruiting, hiring and retaining reliable employees can be a challenge, and with ParlorBoss, they have been able to pinpoint the exact number of employees needed to have the dairy running at maximum efficiency.<\/p><p>\u201cEmployees are pivotal to what we do every day here. Their comfort, their happiness, wanting to come to work and be here,\u201d Yohn said. \u201cParlorBoss allows for us to have a smaller working area, they\u2019re closer to restrooms. They\u2019re closer to break rooms. They\u2019re closer to having a drink or a refrigerator close by because now they don\u2019t have to walk in a large barn and they don\u2019t have to walk as many animals. That alone, the amount of time that they would have to walk in these barns, is a life saver. It\u2019s also an environment where these guys are in less chance of getting in danger.\u201d<\/p><p>ParlorBoss\u2019 integration with VAS\u2019s DairyComp platform makes the entire system a must-have for any dairy, according to Yohn. Having these systems automate processes that are subject to human error and mistakes allow employees to focus primarily on making sure the dairy\u2019s cows are happy, healthy, stress-free and performing at their best. All of these factors add up to a dairy that is operating efficiently, with happy, stress-free cows and engaged employees.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-e5df299 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e5df299\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-581c882\" data-id=\"581c882\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c07f98f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c07f98f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u201cWhen we talk about ParlorBoss as a benefit to our bottom line especially with the struggles that are in dairy farming today and all agriculture for that matter, ParlorBoss and other technologies help us at so many different levels,\u201d he said. \u201cI think ParlorBoss is a wonderful system and I would not manage a dairy without it moving forward.
