Should you overcrowd or not? While some farms use overcrowding to increase overall profitability, others worry that individual cow performance will suffer if they overcrowd. In this episode of Cow-Side Conversations, Dale Brown, a partner at Jobo Holstein Farm in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, shares how overcrowding has improved their profitability and overall breakeven costs. He offers helpful suggestions for how they’ve made it work and lessons learned along the way. Dale also discusses the benefits they have found in working with outside consultants and participating in benchmarking groups to continually evaluate their dairy operation’s costs.
