The to-do list that actually gets done.
Every dairy farmer knows the feeling: you told someone to check the fresh cows. Did they? You're not sure. Now it's 10pm and you're wondering if that heifer got her calcium bolus.
That uncertainty costs you sleep. And sometimes, it costs you cows.
Here's what nobody tells you about “communication” on a dairy farm.
You can have the best protocols in the industry. The most experienced team. State-of-the-art equipment.
But if the task you wrote on the whiteboard got erased before second shift saw it? None of that matters.
“The problem isn't that farmers don't know what needs to happen. It's that there's no system to make sure it actually happens.”
Whiteboards get erased. Sticky notes fall off. Text messages get buried. Verbal handoffs get forgotten.
And the most frustrating part? You end up doing it yourself anyway, because at least then you know it's done.
Moo To-Do changes one simple thing.
It gives you a record. Not just of what needs to happen — but what did happen, who did it, and when.
Create a task from anywhere — your phone in the barn, the office computer, or the break room tablet. Assign it to a person or a shift. Get notified when it's done.
The insight most dairy farmers miss.
Task management isn't about micromanaging your team. It's about protecting your cows from the gaps that happen when humans hand off to other humans.
The farms that perform consistently aren't the ones with superhuman employees. They're the ones with systems that catch what humans forget.
How top farms use Moo To-Do
Fresh Cow Protocols
Ensure every fresh cow gets her calcium, her exam, and her check-in — with photo proof.
Treatment Follow-Ups
Never wonder if that cow got her second dose. The task doesn't close until it's done.
Shift Handoffs
Morning shift leaves notes for evening. Evening confirms they saw them. No more 'I didn't know.'
Equipment Checks
Daily bulk tank temps. Weekly cleaning logs. Monthly maintenance. All tracked, all verified.
Calf Care
Colostrum timing, feeding schedules, health checks. The details that determine lifetime performance.
Special Attention
Flag the cow that needs watching. Make sure every shift knows she exists.
Stop wondering. Start knowing.
