"New
animal practices – prevention of diseases. I’d pay better attention to
mastitis problems and how it affects the somatic cell count. I’d also
look more into the futures market for (selling) excess grains."

"Most of what I’ve learned we’re already doing. Now I know why we’re
doing it."

"I’d organize the fields a little better and keep better
records. I’d make field maps and keep records for each field. And I’d
start a nutrient management plan."

"I’d have a more in depth feeding program for
different dry cow groups and better crop rotation."

"Everything’s running pretty good other than debt. Maybe I’d
change some livestock management practices. I’d improve housing and
ventilation. I’d bring in a new foot care program, putting them through
a regular foot bath and trim them regularly. As soon as you see a lame cow
treat her right away."
