Our Mission
For over 42 years, we have specialized in dairy nutrition for herd sizes of up to and over 22,000 milking cows. In order to feed a hungry world, our mission is to help dairies reach their greatest economic potential by providing the best education, nutrition, health and care for each cow on every dairy. It is our duty to help dairy farmers take care of their land and animals and we take that seriously.
Our approach is a team focused approach. With this, we add more perspectives to each dairy thus providing more value to each client at the same cost or better cost than other nutrition consulting firms. We believe this approach gives the client more solutions and less complacency from a nutritionist. It allows more eyes on their operation and rations, providing overall better results for your dairy and your cows.
What We Believe
We believe in the biological needs of all animals and not compromising their quality of life or health. Her needs can be met many ways — and not every dairy has to do it the same way. We address key herd issues, provide innovative ideas, and develop farm teams. Success starts here.
All of our nutritionists have a minimum of a master’s degree in dairy or animal science. This matters for understanding the nutritional biology of the cow — specifically the pathways associated with nutrition across different energy status states through growth and life.
Our number one goal is customer service and herd health. We are available by phone, email, or text 7 days a week. We specialize in troubleshooting on-farm issues and evaluating dairy rations — and we’re happy to provide a second opinion on your current nutrition program.
Beyond Nutrition
We help dairy farms not only through nutrition programs for their animals but also with management ideas, training, and problem solving on any level of the dairy. We work with dairies to enhance on-farm programs such as the National FARM program in three of the four areas of importance — animal care, environment, and workforce development — leaving antibiotics to the veterinarian professionals.
