Dairy Heifer Raisers Talk Challenges and Triumphs in 2025 

Two heifer growers from two different parts of the country join us today: TJ McClure joins us from southwest Kansas, and Kendall Wassenaar from northwest Iowa, to chat about the strategies they have been using to overcome challenges in their heifer development operations, including:

➡️ Recruiting labor in a county with only 1,200 people,

➡️ Problem-solving pink eye in heifers

➡️ Strategies for increasing operational efficiency and reducing man hours

➡️ And the organization through which these two connected a few years back, the Dairy Calf and Heifer Association.

As current DCHA President, Kendall gives highlights for the 2025 annual conference, set for April 8-10 in Westminster, Colorado, and TJ, a past president and DCHA board member, shares what he is looking forward to at this year’s premier event.This episode is sponsored by the Dairy Calf and Heifer Association and Zoetis.
