Winter brings a new set of demands to the dairy, from keeping daily routines running smoothly to meeting the needs of animals in colder conditions. This issue of American Dairymen explores those seasonal priorities while also looking at calf health, genetics, and herd identification. Start with Keeping the Dairy Going in Cold Weather for a look at managing your operation as temperatures drop, then explore Winter Water Management for a closer look at an essential part of winter animal care.

Beyond seasonal preparation, this issue turns attention to the next generation of the herd with Diseases in Dairy Calves, highlighting a topic that remains central to raising healthy replacements. Looking toward long-term herd performance, The 6-X Genetics Advantage introduces the ProCross three-breed crossbreeding program and its emphasis on healthy, productive, fertile cows suited to commercial dairy environments. Rounding out the issue, Identification for Dairy Goats explores another important aspect of managing a dairy herd. Together, these features give producers a range of topics to consider as they prepare for winter and make decisions that shape their operation’s future.
