The bigger issue? 👇 If you’re not closely tracking your feed usage, you could be missing out on serious savings. Every pound of wasted feed is money out the door – and those dollars add up fast. That’s why 20 years ago, Blue Star Dairy added VAS’ feed management system to maximize their feed investment. Here’s how they continue to boost their returns: ⏱️ Real-Time Tracking: Monitor every pound of feed as it’s used 🎯 Precision Feeding: Ensure every ingredient is mixed in the right order, time and quantity for peak herd performance 📉 Less Waste: Minimize shrink and weighbacks by optimizing feed usage, keeping feed where it belongs Feed is already a large investment. Don’t let it cost more than it needs to. Talk to your local farm performance consultant to discover how feed management software can turn every pound of feed into real value for your operation. 💲 #feedingcows #dairyfarming #dairytechnology #dairyfeed
