Core Cool Systems

Dry cows aren’t “just resting.”Heat stress during the dry period can reduce milk in the next lactation, weaken calves, and create transition problems months later. In this episode, we look at what the research says — and why cooling dry cows matters more than many farms realize.

Cows don’t need warm barns; they need clean, fresh, moving air.In this episode, we talk about why winter ventilation matters more than most farms realize — and what happens when air stops moving.

Summer heat stress quietly destroys reproduction in dairy cows. In this episode, we explain how missed pregnancies lead to fewer calves and lost milk — and why preventing heat stress matters.

Moving air isn’t the same as cooling the cow. In this episode of the Core Cool Podcast, we break down why protecting core body temperature matters more than fan size or CFM numbers. Learn how heat stress really impacts cow behavior and performance, and why effective cooling has to reach the cow, not just the barn.

Temperature stress isn’t just a hot-day problem.In this episode, we talk about how temperature stress quietly impacts cow health, performance, and profitability — and why keeping cows' core cool matters more than ever.

More fans won’t fix heat stress. Learn how the Core Cool Formula—airspeed, evaporation, and THI-based control—keeps cows cool, comfortable, and productive day and night.

Why nighttime recovery is the missing link in cow cooling—if nights don’t cool, days fall apart.

Even in cool climates, modern cows overheat — costing milk, fertility, and profit. Here’s why airflow isn’t enough: Read full article
 
 
 

Mild heat stress is costing you more than you think, long before it feels hot. In this episode, Nancy breaks down how THI affects cows, why most cooling systems are too late, and what you can do to protect production and profits.
