Printed Reports
There are over 50 standard reports to choose from; and we can customize other reports to meet your specific management needs. This powerful and convenient option allows producers and consultants to receive custom-designed reports, which can be printed and mailed with the routine monthly test reports. In addition, it is now possible to have large print on custom management reports.

On-farm test day reports are printed and provided by the Technician. The most popular mailed reports are listed below. Click to view a sample report

Additional reports are available to address specific dairy management needs. If the standard format of a report is not suitable, a custom report can be designed.

The following charge will be added to your regular charges for each test period:

$2.00 for herds of 1 to 100 cows
$4.00 for herds of 101 to 500 cows
$6.00 for herds of 501+ cows

When you sign up for Web Reports, DRMS will send you an automated email notification when your herd processes, so you'll know your reports are waiting for you! An option to automatically notify another email address (your herd manager, veterinarian, consultant, etc.) is also available. The most recent two years of the Herd Summary (202), and the most recent three months of all other reports you receive are accessible.

The cost of web reports varies based on number of cows and the charge will be added to your regular charges for each test period. There is no additional charge for a primary email notification. There is a $3.00 charge for a second email notification (veterinarian, consultant, etc.).
