Automated DairyComp Cull Cow Summaries
Every Monday, WebRun opens DairyComp 305, pulls production, reproductive status, health event history, and days in milk for every cow, ranks likely cull candidates by low production, repeat breeding failure, chronic health issues, or age, logs the list to a tracking sheet, and posts your management team a Slack summary to guide this week's culling decisions.
How do I decide which cows to cull each week?
WebRun pulls production, reproductive status, health event history, and days in milk from DairyComp 305 every Monday, ranks likely cull candidates by low production, repeat breeding failure, chronic health issues, or age, and logs the list to a tracking sheet. It posts your management team a Slack summary grouped by reason, so the actual cull call stays a human decision.
- Cull candidates are ranked by reason instead of relying on memory at the sale barn line
- A cow with stacked reasons surfaces above one with a single flag
- The cull tracker builds a running record every week automatically

Questions, answered
Does WebRun decide which cows get culled?
No. WebRun only ranks candidates and summarizes the reasons behind each one. The actual cull decision, and any call to a buyer or sale barn, stays entirely with you and your management team.
What counts as a cull reason?
Low production relative to her herd mates, repeat breeding failure past your herd's target days open, chronic or recurring health events, and advanced age or declining production trend are the standard criteria, and you can adjust the weighting.
How does it handle a cow with more than one reason?
It notes every reason that applies to her and ranks her higher when reasons stack, so a cow that's both open past target and a repeat health case surfaces above a cow with just one flag.
