It’s COW CHOW time!

from THE DFD (Dairy Farmer’s Digest) Podcast Hosted by Keith Schweitzer

On this weeks episode of the podcast, I talk to Bill Woodley. Bill is the owner of Woodley Dairy Direction, a consulting company that specializing in training nutritionists on the key concepts of dairy nutrition, Bill has spoken to, and consulted with Dairy producers all over the world. With hay and winter forage crops quickly reaching their harvest windows, Bill and I tackle the topic of forage quality and how it affects feed cost. We also talk about the physiology of the plant and how the cow utilizes the fiber to make milk, as well as how different crops feed, and why we may want to consider growing them in the future. With protein and grain prices at or near all-time highs, controlling the narrative when it comes to making high quality forages is the first step in offsetting these high feed prices. Bill can be reached at [email protected] I hope you enjoy this episode of the podcast. If you have any questions about this episode or on future episodes of the podcast, please feel free to reach out to me by email at [email protected] or by phone at 1 (226) 236-3227 and please follow me on twitter @keithschweitzer
