Today we had what is likely the last ever Heifer Unit lab in ANS 3250L Dairy Cattle Practicum.

[Joseph W. McFadden @RuminateOnThis]

Time with @GHGGuru (@UCDavisCLEAR), Dr. DeVries (@FloridaGators), and Dr. Tempelman (@DairyMsu) - we need more nutrition x genetics studies!

Very nice lunch meeting with my U of Minnesota PhD adviser, Dr. Joe Conlin, in Madison, WI today. On my way to the 4 State Dairy Nutrition and Management Conference in Dubuque, IA, to talk about economics of raising heifers and productive life.

Good Zoetis meeting in Rome, Italy, last week. And seeing some of ancient Rome. #UFansci

I gave a talk @WDExpo #WDE18 #CDCB this week and people told me how much they enjoyed it. I hear that quite a bit. I must be in the entertainment business. Good meeting, though. #UFansci

Nice to see how far our @UF_IFAS Dairy Update newsletter reaches. #ufansci. https://t.co/EfCRvfN3Pf

[Prof. Jude Capper 🐄🐂🐑 @Bovidiva]

The value of #dairy #cow longevity is complex - affected by genetic improvement (more heifers), heifer replacement cost and effects of cow maturity. In USA, 4-5 lactations seems to be ideal, though depends on assumptions. Interesting commentary here: https://t.co/17yF0yCUn0

[Albert De Vries @albertdevries]

One more lactation? Some simple math to look at the trade-offs between genetics progress, replacement cost, and dairy cow maturity. Written for the Spring 2018 issue of our @UF_IFAS Dairy Update newsletter https://t.co/2HwMgvwHQE #ufansci

Great job repainting the @UF_IFAS Dairy Unit sign by the @ufdairyscience club, despite the rain, in preparation for https://t.co/JlcqyIBLHY, Saturday March 31. It looks like it will be great and dry day tomorrow. #UFansci.

[Albert De Vries @albertdevries]

Great visit to https://t.co/f7RqWQwaAY with members of the #UFansci @DairyChallenge team. Getting ready for the national contest in California next month. #NAIDC #dairychallenge
