Note: Beginning in February 2021, Dairy Records Management Systems (DRMS), the company that processes DHIA data, updated to a more accurate method of calculating pregnancy rate. In general, this resulted in lower pregnancy rates calculated for Pennsylvania dairy herds as reflected in the large drop from January and previous months to February.
