The Future Dairy Herd: Fewer Cows, Higher Responsibility - Featuring Experts from Diamond V

Over the next several years, the dairy industry will face a tightening supply of replacement heifers. As fewer animals enter the system, the success of a dairy operation will increasingly depend on how well it can protect the health and productivity of the cows already in the herd. On this episode, listeners will gain insight into why a stronger focus on prevention, resilience and whole-cow health is becoming essential in dairy operations, and how proactive strategies can help dairy operations be better stewards of their animals, while sustaining performance in a herd with fewer replacements. This episode features experts from Diamond V, including Dr. Gavin Staley, a recognized thought leader in the U.S. Dairy Industry with more than 20 years of experience in veterinary practice and technical services. His expertise spans dairy record evaluation, heifer maturity and productive life, with a strong focus on preventative strategies that support long-term cow health and performance. Dr. Gavin Staley examines what this shift means for today’s dairy herds and the professionals who support them. Exploring how keeping cows longer changes health risk, performance expectations and management priorities, as well as why extending lifespan only works when cows remain healthy and productive.
