The Dairy Summit is coming Nov. 15 at UW-Platteville, an opportunity to learn about the latest research projects happening through the UW Dairy Innovation Hub. Chris Wilson will be there talking about his experience working with UW-Platteville on virtual grazing methods. They rotationally and intensively graze their 500 cattle across 900 acres. And moving those electric fences around EVERY DAY is labor intensive. Virtual grazing eliminates the need for fences using on-cow technologies -- similar to a shock collar on a dog, but without the shock. Obviously this comes with its own barriers, such as internet connection or battery power, depending on the system. He says opening up the farm to new ideas and projects is one of the reasons this farm has been in the family for more than 175 years.
