🌾🌽Crop, Stop and Roll!!🌽🌾

A season of growing and harvesting is nearly over, but no feed procurement program is complete without testing - Your herd's health and performance depend on it!

Having feed evaluated gives you critical information to plan for optimal animal nutrition going into the year ahead. We all know that a ration even slightly unbalanced can get in the way of a perfect production cycle.

At UGVS, we offer feed sampling. dry matter analysis and other ration related services, giving you the information you need to perfect your diet and maximize productivity!

Give us a call to book one of our many trusted livestock specialists to help your bunk make you big bucks! 🐮💚🩵

Incoming message from Dr. Mike Scolaro! 🐮

This week, I'm back from the American Association of Bovine Practitioners meeting in Omaha, Nebraska! I really honed in on some intensive sessions covering heifer rearing and nutrition and ways to improve milk quality and udder health. My biggest take home? It's actually way cheaper to raise heifers when you invest in an accelerated growth program - It pays off in dividends later too!

Reach out and we will help you on your way to growing the future of your herd by over 1Kg per day!

I am so grateful to the UGVS team for working extra hard in my absence. Learning new things is critical to remaining trusted livestock specialists and our group is incredibly supportive of each other learning more everyday!

Enjoying a beautiful day at the Miner Institute in beautiful New York State.

I am excited to be attending the Dairy Nutrition and Management course put on by Cornell College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.

It’s amazing to be “back in school”. So much good information and rubbing elbows with some great nutritionists and veterinarians from all over the world

A big thank you to all the people back home taking care of my chores at the farm and duties at the vet clinic.
