Join us for a milk quality workshop at the UVM Miller Farm. This workshop is geared toward dairy producers and service providers interested in learning more about milk quality best practices, as well as how to troubleshoot milk quality issues on your own farm. Dr. Paul Virkler of Quality Milk Production Services at Cornell University will be present to share his expertise on troubleshooting milk quality issues on farm. This workshop is free and refreshments will be provided.

The focus will be on soil health in pasture systems, grazing management, and considerations for transitioning to grass-fed. DGA discussion will also happen.

Join us for a discussion with Dr. Dayna Locitzer on sheep and goat dairy protocol development. The workshop will include group lectures followed by breakout sessions for developing individual farm protocols.
