FeedComp in action north of the border.

Working alongside our resellers allows us to share learnings, collaborate and help tailor management solutions to dairy operations around the world. It was great joining Lactanet, our Canadian partner, on-farm to see how FeedComp is helping producers feed with greater accuracy and confidence and to hear firsthand how they're putting it to 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.

To us, this view represents generations of grit, early mornings, long days and an unwavering commitment to the land, animals and communities they serve.

For 250 years, this country has been built by people who show up and put in the work for something bigger than themselves. We see that spirit every day in the American dairy farmer.

Happy Independence Day weekend from all of us at VAS. As a reminder, our offices are closed today, Friday, July 3 in observance of the holiday.

Please join us in welcoming Mark Moran as VAS’ Chief Product & Technology Officer!
