🌱 Sustainability in agriculture isn’t just about the environment—it’s about PEOPLE.

At the AABP Recent Grad Conference, I talked about the three pillars of true sustainability:

🐄 Compassion – For animals and the people caring for them. Training & support matter!

🤝 Collaboration – No one succeeds alone. Work with people, not against them!

📢 Connection – Consumers are generations removed from farming yet they CARE where their food comes from! Help improve transparency.

Sustainability is about keeping agriculture strong for the future. Where can you bring more compassion, collaboration, or connection into your work?

A huge thank you to for having me on her podcast! It was such a joy to share my journey from suburban San Francisco to becoming a dairy vet, co-founding and connecting with people through social media.

We had a great conversation about why training is key in the dairy industry, the joys (and surprises) of sharing the story of agriculture online, and how I balance my roles as a vet, a mom, and a content creator.

I’m so grateful for the opportunity to talk about my passion for dairy and the incredible people behind it. If you want to hear more, check out the episode at www.thedairygalval.com! Thank you, Val, for letting me be part of this!

“Undeniably Dairy” celebrates everything we love about dairy – from the hardworking farmers to the nutritious and delicious products we enjoy every day. It’s a movement to connect consumers with the people and practices behind their favorite dairy foods, highlighting the sustainability, care, and dedication that go into every glass of milk, wedge of cheese, or scoop of ice cream.

As someone passionate about bridging the gap between producers and consumers, I love how Undeniably Dairy shares the real stories of farm families and their commitment to animal care, the environment, and producing high-quality products.

Here I am at work today, sporting my Undeniably Dairy hat this cold morning! What’s your favorite dairy product?

A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of speaking to a group of talented young veterinarians through Merck Animal Health. These individuals are the future of our profession, and their passion for animal care and sustainability is truly inspiring.

I shared my journey as a dairy veterinarian and the lessons I’ve learned about the critical role we play in connecting the entire food chain. From farmers to consumers, our impact extends far beyond the barn, and it’s a responsibility we should embrace with pride.

To the young vets: Remember, the path isn’t always straight, but every twist and turn adds value to your story. Stay curious, stay compassionate, be kind, and don’t be afraid to think outside the box—or the barn!

Thank you, for giving me the chance to share my story and connect with such a motivated group. The future of veterinary medicine is in great hands.

I took this picture chute-side
soaking wet,
frustrated by wet tails whipping in my face,
worried about my health from in the cold wind,
mad about the mud the rain had made all morning in the alley,
and counting down the minutes until the 450 cows were all checked and back out to pasture.

In agriculture, there are plenty of triggers – those frustrating, challenging moments that make you question why you chose this life. Anyone who works with cows knows they can test your patience, especially on those tough days.
But then come the glimmers – the small, powerful moments that remind you why you’re here.
It could be a newborn calf taking its first steps,
the calm of a sunrise over the fields,
a rainbow after a tough day,
or the feeling of accomplishment after a long day’s work.

This day I saw that rainbow and it caught me and snapped me out of my grumpy mood. What a beautiful day it was!
The rain will bring much needed moisture and grasses and feed for the cows. The cows love the cool air (more than I do!)
We were getting the work done and I smiled.

Focusing on these glimmers helps us stay grounded, stay resilient, and stay passionate, even when things get hard.

What glimmers keep you going?

Grateful for the opportunity to speak at the Dairy Sustainability Alliance about empowering dairy farmers to create a brighter, more sustainable future.

Farmers are at the heart of the dairy industry, and it’s incredible to see the dedication, innovation, and care they bring to their work every day. We are so happy to support their efforts through - together, we can build solutions that benefit people, animals, and the planet.

A big thank you to the Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy for bringing us together to drive meaningful change and collaboration. Excited to continue this important work.

On my way to the Dairy Sustainability Alliance meeting! Looking forward to connecting with so many passionate individuals working toward a more sustainable future in dairy.

I’ll be speaking Tuesday afternoon, and I’d love to see you there. Come check out my session and don’t forget to say hi! Let’s keep the conversation going about sustainability, innovation, and the future of our industry.

Happy World Kindness Day!

Let’s remember to be kind to each other and the animals we work with.

A little kindness goes a long way!

There’s something truly powerful about bringing diverse perspectives together—especially in agriculture. My time at the conference was a perfect reminder of how we all contribute to the bigger picture. When we collaborate, we don’t just work together - we rise together.

I’m looking forward to continuing this conversation at the upcoming Dairy Sustainability Alliance (shoutout ), where I’ll be speaking on how working together can drive sustainable change in our industry. Let’s unite, innovate, and lead the way forward!

In an industry where we may sometimes feel outnumbered, I encourage women to never be outshined. It’s inspiring to see what happens when we come together. Collaboration among women in dairy isn’t just support—it’s how we thrive, sharing knowledge, lifting each other up, and breaking new ground. I am so honored to be named one of the Forward Under 40 award recipients. The name says it all - we are working together to move the industry FORWARD. This recognition is for all of us who believe in the power of partnership, who push through challenges, and who know that together, our light shines brighter than ever.

I’m incredibly honored to be named one of this year’s DairyGirl Network Forward Under 40 award recipients, alongside three amazing women who are each contributing so much to the dairy industry. This recognition means a lot to me because it aligns deeply with my mission: to connect the people who produce food with those who consume it, fostering understanding and appreciation for the care that goes into every step.

As a dairy veterinarian, co-founder of DairyKind, and a mom, I am driven to enhance the well-being of both animals and people. My work is rooted in transparency and compassion, and I believe that by sharing our stories and educating openly, we can build bridges and inspire positive change.

Thank you to the Dairy Girl Network for recognizing our shared passion and for supporting women in dairy.

Excited to share that I’ll be speaking at the Dairy Sustainability Alliance Meeting this month!

As a dairy veterinarian and co-founder of DairyKind, I’m passionate about driving positive change in dairy. This event is an incredible opportunity to engage with other industry leaders on how we can promote sustainable practices that benefit both animal and human well-being, while meeting the demands of a rapidly evolving food system.

Looking forward to connecting with others who are dedicated to advancing sustainability in dairy! Will you be there?

Pop Quiz Time! What color do you think a cow’s skin is beneath her hair? Drop your guess in a comment. #dairydocquiz #popquiz #quiz #blackorwhite #blackandwhite #skincolor #dairy #cow #markings #skin #hair #veterinarian #dairydoc #dairykind

Every dairy farm I visit is unique, but one thing they all have in common is prioritizing the health of their animals. All farmers invest heavily in keeping their calves healthy and thriving! This includes ensuring they’re getting enough high quality colostrum shortly after they’re born, whether it be straight from a cow or from a bottle. #dairy #cow #calf #cowcalf #separation #cows #colostrum #colostrumcollection #health #vet #veterinarian #immunity #dairydoc #dairykind

Milking machines don’t hurt cows—they’re actually designed with cow comfort in mind! For cows to let their milk down, they need to feel relaxed and at ease, and these machines help make that happen. #milkingmachine #cowcomfort #dairycow #dairydoc #dairykind

Even if you don’t consume dairy products, chances are you’re still supporting the dairy industry in other ways. Thank you all for your support! #waysyousupportdairy #supportdairyfarmers #dairy #cows #support #alcohol #drink #takeashot #thankyou #dairydoc #dairykind

When a cow is in labor, one of the first things I check for is if the calf is in the right position for delivery. Here’s how we determine if everything is lined up correctly. #birth #baby #delivery #labor #vet #obgyn #newborn #veterinary #laboranddelivery #landd #maternity #cows #cow #calf #birthstory #dairy #dairydoc #dairykind

I visit many dairies and meet plenty of older cows, but this one stood out because of her friendly personality. Here’s her story! #dairy #cow #favorite #favoritecow #friendly #animals #old #oldanimals #oldcow #cowspotlight #hownowoldcow #animalhealth #vet #milk #milking #milkproduction #farm #familyfarm #herd #dairydoc #dairykind

Throwback to a cow C-section I performed a while back! There are different ways to do a C-section, but in this video, I’m sharing the method I prefer and why it works best for me. #dairy #cow #birth #csection #csectionscar #scar #incision #cesarean #cows #laboranddelivery #veterinary #dairydoc #dairykind

Ever wonder how a cow’s ear tags are put in? The sharp point pierces the ear and securely connects in front using these specialized applicators. It’s quick, efficient, and an important part of cattle management! #ears #earpiercing #piercing #applicator #dairy #ocv #eartags #vet #usda #legal #calves #calf #farm #dairydoc #dairykind

Have I ever stepped in cow poop? Oh, only EVERY DAY. 💩😂 Luckily, these trusty overboots make cleanup a breeze! #cow #poop #manure #cowpie #dairy #farm #poop #cows #boots #dirtyjob #dairydoc #dairykind

Remember the Reel I posted a couple days ago about the cow I once treated with wine? 🍷 Here’s a repost of my update on Cinnamon. #cinnamon #cow #freshcow #cinnamonupdate #dairy #shorthorn #milking #milk #cowspotlight #cows #sickcow #dairydoc #dairykind

Here’s a throwback to one time I gave a cow some wine as part of her medical treatment. 🍷 #redwine #wine #ketosis #newresearch #europe #wine #drunkcow #keto #cinnamon #canela #dairy #winery #dairycow #heifer #cowcalf #dairydoc #dairykind

Why don’t all cows live on grass pastures? It’s all about what’s BEST for them based on their environment! In my area, dry and pokey grass isn’t as comfy as a well-maintained dirt lot that passes the knee drop test. Trust me—comfort comes first for these cows! #grass #dirt #vet #kneedrop #dairy #cow #drylot #climate #dairydoc #dairykind
