In this episode,we uncover a stage in dairy farming that many farmers overlook—but one that can make or break your next milking season. Why would you stop milking a cow that’s still producing? And what really happens if you don’t?

Join us as we talk about why the dry period matters, when to stop milking your cow, and how to do it the right way. Our expert explains how doing this well can be the difference between low milk and a healthy cow that produces more in the next season.
