Why Verify Heifer Facilities?

 

The process of producing milk is evolving into a very dynamic industry. More changes are expected in the next five years than in the last fifteen years. Milk producers rely on high quality heifers to improve their bottom line

 

Savvy heifer producers are searching for every possible method to maintain or increase profitability. For many heifer producers this means “value added” production—producing high quality heifers at DQA verified facilities.

 

The good news is there is ample room for your operation to “add value” to the heifers you raise. What counts is how you manage your heifer facility—not how big or small you are. By using certain management practices, you can set the stage to increase the value of your heifers.

 

“We need professional heifer growers no matter what size, how experienced, what type of facilities, or where your operation is located.”
