At this webinar, Kevin Dhuyvetter shared insights from his own research to answer key questions such as:
How does the timing of cow insemination affect the economics of milk production?
Is the optimal day of lactation for insemination the same for first-calf heifers and older cows?
Is extending lactation economically justified?
