👥 Align team members around herd goals and define clear measures of success
📊 Use their data to continuously refine breeding and genetic strategies for maximum return

As breeding techniques and technology continue to advance, so does the opportunity to build a strategy that reflects your herd, your goals and the ever-changing market. Discover how using your herd data more strategically can improve reproductive performance: https://hubs.ly/Q04tWJTt0

What bottlenecks stand between you and a smoother harvest?

For Quantum Dairy, it was the same as many dairies – staffing the scale house, extra paperwork to keep inventories updated and limited hours in the day with labor already stretched thin.

When they decided to implement WeighComp, they gained more than just simpler workflows during harvest. They tapped into new efficiencies that continue to deliver year-round. Today, WeighComp saves them 6-8 hours after every harvest and gives them complete confidence in their inventory numbers in a single solution.

At VAS we’re united by a shared commitment to producers, and it's a responsibility that continues to guide our work every day.

We’re proud to welcome Ashley Brandel and Yadira Padilla to VAS this summer as farm performance consultant interns.

Ashley grew up on her family’s 150-cow registered Holstein farm, where she started showing cattle at local, state and national levels at a young age. Those early experiences helped her develop a lasting appreciation for the dairy industry and agriculture as a whole. This fall, she will begin her junior year at the University of Wisconsin–Platteville, where she is studying dairy science with a minor in agricultural business.

Yadira is from California, where her passion for dairy started early – often tagging along with her dad to the dairy and helping with everything from pushing cows up for milking to feeding calves. During the school year, she works at the Cal Poly SLO University Dairy and is studying agricultural business with a dairy science minor.
