When we sold our milking herd of cows this past September, I was seeking a new venture to help take my mind off my cow-less estate, and I decided (with my wife’s blessing) to pursue a lifelong dream – acquire my private pilot’s license.

Pinpoint, Barenbrug’s Forage Delivery System, is the cost-effective solution for seasonal feed supply challenges. The Pinpoint family of products work together as a system. This system helps increase profitability by lowering feed cost and reducing stress on the operation. Pinpoint products help producers achieve the goal of grazing for 300+ days out of the year.
