7 Managing Cows and IceQubes

7.1 Getting started – creating the initial association between Cows and

IceQubes

When IceQubes are attached for the first time to cows the best method to organise your data is to

create a manual list of which cows (freeze brand numbers) have been given which IceQubes.

Many farmers fill out a spreadsheet with this information. The date and time of attachment should

be included.

Cow Number IceQube Number Date attached Time attached

IceRobotics can upload this spreadsheet for you into CowAlert to make the initial association easier

for the farmer.

Note: If you wish to make the cow to IceQube associations yourself you must create the list of cows

numbers in CowAlert first. Once the list of cows is created it is a simple task to match the cow to the

IceQube – see section 7.4, adding a new cow to CowAlert.
