We have used CowSense since the 1990’s. We use the add ons of Chuteside and Pocket CowSense. We have EID’d all cows and put an eid in each calf when they are born. The use of the EID and Pocket Cowsense has aided us in getting data put into Cowsense quickly and accurately. Having a mini-wand to scan an ID right into pocket cowsense makes sure that one incorrect digit of the eid does not create headaches identifying an animal later. Having eids in all cattle allows us to quickly pull up an animal and its history when cattle are worked. We have 2 of the hardened Nomad Pocket PC’s. Both can go out and synch back to the computer. Both can carry the data out to the field to be accessed by cowboys when trying to remember what the story is with a certain calf. I recommend that you look into how it may work in your operation.

Pocket Cow Sense is useful to help enter data in the field and then transfer into NxPro later without having to write things down and then enter them in later. It takes a little bit to understand the transfer process, but once a person does it a couple times, it is seamless.

I have totally enjoyed the handheld I purchased. The Pocket Cow Sense software that I use with it also is a joy. The time and “paper work” that I save is worth every bit of the purchase price. Unfortunately, I am not as computer literate as I should be, but the people with Cow Sense and very helpful and supportive. My support group with Cow Sense has more patience than our local hospital. Thanks again to Jim and his staff. Rich

I’m having troubles getting the Active Sync to work but I will have a computer specialist coming this week to help me. I can’t say how well it works until I get some information into the Recon.

Active Sync is a Windows component, and the Recon depends on it to interact properly with the computer. We are getting back to the customer to resolve the problem with his computer.

I have used Pocket Cow Sense two times with EID’s via Bluetooth connection to a Dell Axim PDA. We processed 97 calves each time.It worked flawlessly each time. We were recording weaning weights the first time and 21 day weights after that to see what the calves were gaining in backgrounding. I am very pleased, It saved a lot of data entry and probably reduced errors.

Pocket Cow Sense really speeds up our data entry. Data is put directly into Pocket Cow Sense instead of being written down and entered later. This saves a lot of time and improves accuracy.

Pocket Cow Sense has worked well to be able to carry cow records with me where ever I am. I have struggled to figure out if it is viable in our operation to uses it while calving and working cattle through the chute. The application is very large and take quite a bit of time to load on my Dell Axiom, but once it is loaded it operates very efficiently. It is amazing to have that much data on a little device.

The devil is in the details and cow sense users will need to understand hotlinking a handheld to a laptop or desk top computer. The informaion is shared between the two by opening the desktop versionof pocket cow sense and then going through the process of checking what information is to be sent to the handheld. Once a producer understand this it should be no problem for them.
