The Cow Stats widget provides a snapshot view of the herd by current animal status: milking, fresh, dry, or hospital, as well as close-up pen information for cows and heifers. This widget is useful for quickly identifying animal counts and determining how many cows need to be transitioned to dry in preparation for calving.

Follow these guidelines when reviewing the data in this widget:

- Color-coded areas contain milking cow (blue), hospital pen (red), dry cow (gray), and heifer (green) data.
- View the **Updated** timestamp to determine the date and time of the last data sync with DairyComp. This data is updated on a daily basis.
- The **All ****Milking Cows** total includes all To Tank and Hospital cows.
