It's kidding season and the barn is in full chaos at every turn. This week on Ringside, we're diving into extended lactations, what they are, why more producers are considering it and whether they truly make sense for a commercial herd. We're joined by Hannah Sessions of Blue Ledge Farm to break down her commercial herd study with Holly Menguc on extended lactations. How did it impact milk production, labor demands and what surprised them most once they committed to it. What makes Holly and Hannah's experience different is that they imported and used European genetics through the Goat Improvement Company to create replacement does with genetics that are used for just that, extended lactations and production. This episode is very interesting and something anyone whether on the commercial side or show/hobby side could consider for the future.
