It’s time to nominate outstanding dairy herds for the Dairy Cattle Reproduction Council’s 2025 Excellence in Dairy Reproduction Awards program. This program recognizes outstanding dairy operations for reproductive efficiency and well-implemented procedures.

Nominations are due April 30.

To nominate a herd, go to: www.dcrcouncil.org/awards/nominate-a-herd and complete the required information. From the nominations, judges evaluate reproductive performance criteria and narrow down the nominations to a group of finalists. Dairies named as finalists submit herd management data.

Herds earning Platinum, Gold, Silver or Bronze are invited to attend the DCRC Annual Meeting, which is scheduled for November 11-13, in Middleton, Wisconsin.
