Farmer Comments• “I like entering breedings on the Android so much, that I
want to breed more cows, just so I can enter the breedings on the Android.” Marty Burken, Iowa
• “I've been using the Pocket Dairy for Android since last year. As a herd manager of over 400 cows, this is an awesome tool to have! I love that when I’m not on the farm and my boss calls with a cow question, I can just pull up her info. I'm always prepared now! Thank you for such a great program!” April Phelps, Virginia
• “I renewed my cell phone contract and got an Android JUST because of PocketDairy !!! My husband asks me to look for cow , heifer fresh date , breeding date, whatever info needed. I have it on MY phone .... He's going to have to get HIS OWN phone.... But we love it!” Hope Reynolds, Kentucky
