  3. Dairy Herd Goals • Want year ‘round calving to maximize facilities. • Want one year calving interval to have the cow at peak lactation as much as possible

  4. Imaginary Dairy Herd • 365 cows • One cow calves every day so…… • One cow ends VWP daily • One cow gets bred every day • One cow gets dried off every day

  5. Peak lactation curve Peak Lactation Need to calve to lactate

  6. Peak lactation - Goal 60 Day Dry Period 2 peak lactations in 2 years = most milk

  7. Peak lactation - Bad Lost Milk No Dry Period 1 peak lactation in 2 years = less milk

  15. Imaginary Dairy Herd • 365 cows • One cow calves every day so…… • One cow ends VWP daily • One cow gets bred every day • One cow gets dried off every day • Want year ‘round calving to maximize facilities.
