PULSE Update - February 2026
ENHANCEMENT New Culling Rate HerdSights KPIs added: The new Culling Rate KPIs provide a snapshot of how quickly animals are leaving your herd over time. These insights help you monitor herd turnover and track current rates with historical trends, making it easier for you to evaluate management practices and plan for future herd productivity.
Go to your HerdSights and add a new monthly View to capture your culling rate details.
Bug Fixes

- Zoetis CowCard fix: Trait data now displays as expected on the CowCard Genomics tab.
- ParlorBoss Empty Stalls per Day Report fix: The summary row at the top of the report now shows accurate data.
- MyDC ONLY Shared Files upload: Files on all tabs are now stored as expected and do not unexpectedly get deleted when uploading a new file.
- MyDC ONLY CowCard Pedigree updates: You no longer need to refresh the page to see updates you made to an animal's CowCard Pedigree tab.
- MyDC ONLY Add Animal date fix: When adding animals, the entered dates are being saved as expected and are no longer resetting to yesterday.
- MyDC ONLY Integration Status messaging and alerts: MyDC agent integrations now show accurate connection status messages.
