Social housing for dairy calves seems to be becoming more common.

Every calf-raising system has its pros and cons, but newer research shows some exciting benefits when calves are raised together. Social housing can support healthy behavior, improve feed intake, and even help calves adapt better later in life.

Of course, it also comes with challenges, and every farm has to choose what works best for their calves and their caregivers.

A milking parlor is NOT where cows live. It’s not their “bedroom.”

It’s simply the place they go briefly to be milked before heading right back to their normal living area where they eat, rest, and spend most of their day.

And here’s an important welfare note: Part of evaluating animal welfare is making sure cows have consistent access to veterinary care.

Curious about the different parts of a dairy farm? Ask away!

Over the summer I got to be a guest on the Vet Life Reimagined Podcast! I had so much fun with host Megan Sprinkle.

We talked about career paths that don’t always look the way you expect them to, the importance of staying open and curious, and how community makes all the difference in veterinary medicine. If you haven't given her show a listen, now's the time to check it out!

🎧 You can listen/watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3fI8c3PtPk

Thank you Megan for the thoughtful conversation and for building a space that celebrates openness, connection, and reimagining what’s possible in veterinary medicine.

Happy Thanksgiving! 💙

Today I’m grateful for cows, farmers, coffee with real milk, and all of YOU who are here to learn, ask questions, and stay curious about agriculture.

One of the MOST common questions I get as a dairy vet is: “Where are all the calves?” 👀🐮

In dairy farming, calves are usually cared for separately from their moms shortly after birth. This isn’t about removing them. It’s about giving them the focused attention, nutrition, and monitoring they need during the most vulnerable stage of their lives.

Individual care means healthier calves, better outcomes, and a stronger start. 💛

Colostrum supplements for humans? Yep! They’re a thing! 🥛

We already know so much about the health benefits of colostrum for newborn calves, and now research is digging into how it may support human health too.

Have you tried a colostrum supplement? 👉 Tell me what kind and what you thought! I’m super curious.

Weekly Spotlight: CVT Soft Serve 🍦

What started as a food truck connecting people to the nostalgia and taste of soft serve ice cream on the streets of Los Angeles has become a nationwide store sensation. This brand started in 2014 but only recently started packaging soft serve to-go, and in the past few years has been able to keep soft serve accessible, portable, simple, high-quality, and delicious. Joe Nicchi had a vision and made it happen, which I can relate to!

Sometimes innovation looks like doing one thing really, really well.

Imagine coming home from work to find your house spotless, your bed freshly made, and dinner waiting for you… sounds pretty great, right!?

That’s kind of what it’s like for dairy cows!

While they’re in the parlor being milked, farmers are busy cleaning their pens, adding fresh bedding, refilling feed, and making sure everything’s ready for when the cows come back.

It’s all part of keeping them comfortable, healthy, and well cared for every single day.

If you’ve never seen a chute before, it might look a little intimidating, but I promise, it’s not about being mean to the cows!

Chutes are designed to keep everyone safe, including both the cow and the people working with her. They gently hold the cow still so we can safely trim hooves, give vaccines, or do health checks without anyone getting hurt.

It’s all about calm, careful handling and making sure the process is as stress-free as possible.

Let’s talk about it.

There are so many wild claims out there about dairy farms and milk. Some of them really make me stop and go, “Wait… where did that even come from?” 😅

If you’ve heard something that doesn’t sound quite right (or you’re just genuinely curious), drop it in the comments! I plan on replying to help clear things up!

Dairy is having a moment again... we got milk! 🥛

More people are returning to dairy for its protein, fewer additives, and that “real food” feel.

What fascinates me (and why I’m writing a book about milk perceptions) is that people keep looking for one right choice whether it be dairy or plant-based, whole or skim, but it depends on your needs, values, and lifestyle.

So what do you think: is dairy’s comeback common sense or just another swing of the pendulum?

TB testing day! 🐄🩺 Over 1,000 heifers to check, and yes, it’s just as busy as it sounds!

No matter how many animals I’m caring for, each one gets the same level of attention, care, and respect. Every heifer matters, and maintaining herd health starts with making sure each individual is healthy too. 💪❤️
