Vos vaches sont-elles des voitures de sport ou des camions de ferme ?

Entretenez vos vaches comme les machines de haute performance qu’elles sont pour en tirer le plein potentiel.
December 5, 2025
Clemence Nash

Rêver d’une voiture sport haute performance évoque souvent une Ferrari ou une Camaro. Sous bien des aspects, les vaches laitières sont elles aussi de véritables machines de haute performance. Cependant, certains producteurs laitiers continuent parfois de traiter leurs meilleures « Cowmaros » comme de vieux camions de ferme fiables, ce qui peut les empêcher d’exprimer pleinement leur potentiel génétique.

Tout comme une voiture de sport, les vaches nécessitent entretien et soins réguliers. En les traitant comme des athlètes de haut niveau plutôt que comme de vieux véhicules de ferme, il est possible d’accroître leur productivité et de maximiser la rentabilité de l’élevage.

New year, new safety resolution

The start of a new year is a good time to rethink the farm's approach to safety. A safety commitment can be personalized to each operation and outline expectations and procedures.
December 4, 2025
Cheryl DeCooman

Let’s challenge ourselves to rethink how we approach safety on the farm this year. Do you have a dairy farm safety program in place? Is it written down? Do you have regular conversations with your crew about safety? Are your employees getting formal training? Do you make safety a top priority every day?

Equipment Hub: Too tight or too loose?

A bolt’s job isn’t just to stay put – it’s to stretch just enough to hold parts together under relentless stress. In an engine, that means clamping a head gasket tight enough to withstand thousands of explosive power strokes every minute. The wisdom is in striking that balance, where torque becomes steady clamping force without crossing the line into damage.

Brad Nelson

Tight enough to hold, but not so tight it breaks – that’s the art of a mechanic’s touch.

Cranking memories, sharing joy

Traditions are more than recipes – they are bridges across time. They remind us that even when memory fades, love and shared experience can still bring joy.
December 3, 2025
Marian Viney
