Ten Key Herd Management Opportunities On Dairy Farms During Low Margin Times

Abstract

Tighter and likely negative margins on many dairy farms now and for much of 2018 make it even more critical for dairy producers to focus their management skills on making sure that their herd management is “being all that it can be.” In a previous paper we outlined “Ten Low Investment, High Return Management Opportunities on Dairy Farms.” This paper gives added focus to this material and adds other key points for discussion and evaluation within individual dairy farms.
