What Is the 100-Day ContractSM?
It’s a revolutionary dairy management program to optimize early pregnancies.
For each cow, the 100-Day Contract focuses on the critical period of 30 days
before freshening to 70 days after. The “contract,” as first envisioned by Dr. Jim Spain,1
is an arrangement between you and the cows. It results in:
- High fertility at first breeding
- 100 percent service rate for the first estrous cycle after the voluntary waiting period
- Significantly increased pregnancy rates
- Improved cow health
- Improved calf health
- Improved peak milk
- Improved fertility at first breeding
