Focus on herd health and management is key to profitability in today's competitive dairy industry. The Professional Dairy Producers (PDP) offers a one-day Herdsperson Conference designed to equip farm owners and decision-makers with actionable strategies for maximizing herd health and boosting their bottom line.

The conference takes place on Tuesday, Oct. 29th in Plover, Wis., and Wednesday, Oct. 30th in Arlington, Wis. Both days offer identical sessions with registration starting at 10:00 AM and concluding by 3:30 PM. Spanish translation is available throughout the workshop.

“Investing in herd health and management pays dividends for today’s dairy farms,” said Paul Lippert, vice president of PDP board of directors and Pittsville, Wis., dairy producer. “The practical strategies and management insights from the 2024 Herdsperson Conference will help boost herd longevity, leading to sustainable success and long-term profitability.”

Sessions delve into critical topics including advanced biosecurity measures and proactive approaches to maximizing cow health and performance.

A producer panel featuring top U.S. dairy farmers will share their secrets to herd longevity and sustainability.
