2 Minutes-Check Follow-Up.

With the 2 minute follow up check you quickly see which cows are late but also which cows have an unexpected deviation. It is useful to make two columns on a notepad. One for cows that need to be brought to the VMS and another for cows with the unexpected deviation. Also, add which deviation they have. (For example 75% of expected milking yield or 1x increased conductivity).

Does the cow have a different, less,  milk yield on all 4 teats? She is pretty sure sick!

Check these notes again half a day later. What does the cow have now?

If the latest data is correct again: throw the note away. When in doubt, you immediately are certain whether the deviation is an incident or if something is really going on!
