PC-Dart for Heifer Growers

PCDART for Heifer Growers is a program that allows complete entry and management of data for individual heifers.  Through Heifer Growers, all data can be entered for complete inventory and management of heifer calves from birth until exit as springers or fresh cows.  Group numbers and owner/source identification can be stored for easy retrieval of inventory reports.  Vaccinations, treatments and other health related events can be stored to provide a complete history of each heifer.  Growth of heifers can be tracked and evaluated using wither height and body weight.PCDART provides 16 permanent reports for easy delivery of summaries and animal listings. Users can create their own reports using data from 119 database items. These reports can be tailored to each user's own specifications and can be made part of a standard list or grouped into "sets" for added convenience.

"We have been using Heifer Growers for the past year and truly appreciate the ease in which we can use it. It is a speedy and easy to operate program which handles and sorts all the data we need. In our heifer raising operation, it is important for us to keep breeding and pregnancy data current. We like how we can sort for specific gestational stages so we know when to get the springing heifers to their milking herd. Also, one of our greatest benefits is the ease of the program that allows even our breeder to enter all his data every day rather than us having to do it later."
