Bethany Dado-Senn nailed it! Our organization is full of calf specialists whether a producer/raiser, veterinarian, consultant, nutritionist, academia or industry expert. Join us to network with the best and encourage your calf specialists to become members of DCHA if they aren't.
You need a calf specialist in your life. Here’s why. 👀 We provide a fresh set of eyes. Caring for animals requires immense focus on the daily details, while your calf consultant can take a bird’s eye view to identify risk and opportunity. 🤝 Similarly, we support producers who farm in vastly different ways. When you’re presented with a challenge on-farm, we can provide fresh and alternative solutions to consider. 📊 We help generate and analyze youngstock data to establish progressive yet realistic benchmarks to drive your calf program forward. 📈 We monitor industry trends to prepare you for the future. Staying on top of the research, attending industry conferences, and monitoring the markets are just a few ways in which we forecast farming trends. ⁉️ We will help you make informed decisions regarding the nutrition, housing, team building, and general management of your calves and heifers. ❤️ Raising youngstock can be hard. Sometimes we provide a listening ear alongside solutions when calves are sick and not getting better or markets are tough. And hey, I get it. Many of you reading this post have been raising calves since before I was born. You know the ins and outs of your operation better than anyone. The right calf specialist recognizes that; they will honor your experience while still providing value through genuine questions and collaborative problem solving. If you’re reading this and thinking “Hmm, I’d like support but don’t currently have it…,” feel free to send me a message. I support dairy farmers in achieving their goals across the Midwest US and beyond. What do you think fellow calf specialists? Did I miss anything? 😆 #dairy #dairyfarming #dairycalves #calves #heifers #youngstock #calfspecialist #technicalsupport #consultant
