CowManager, a global leader in cow monitoring solutions, has been honored with the prestigious Professional Dairy Producers® (PDP) Nexus™ Award for its innovative Sort my Cow Sort Gate system. The company accepted the award at the 2025 PDP Business Conference.
Designed to address the labor challenges facing today’s dairy farms and improve cow welfare, Sort my Cow works by receiving alerts from CowManager ear sensors, allowing producers to automatically or manually via the app divert cows that need attention, all while maintaining smooth cow flow. The sort gate system empowers producers to decrease labor costs, reduce lockup times and boost overall operational efficiency.
As part of the selection process, the committee noted key features such as Sort my Cow’s double identification methods for fast, accurate sorting, plus the pneumatic-free design that uses electromagnets and springs for locking, resulting in minimal noise during operation and less cow stress. In addition, they highlighted the gate’s stainless-steel design built to last in extreme temperatures and tough conditions.
“Winning the PDP Nexus Award is a proud moment for CowManager,” said Jared Krull, Vice President of Sales and Service at CowManager USA. “Sort my Cow was created with the goal of making everyday dairy operations easier, smarter and more efficient. We are thrilled to see this new technology recognized by industry leaders and producers alike.”
The PDP Nexus Award celebrates emerging technologies that deliver meaningful advancements in dairy management, sustainability and animal welfare. Winners are selected based on the ability to meet a real and pressing need in the dairy industry, the potential for widespread impact, and practical on-farm application.
