DAIRY NUTRITIONIST
Integer (Z) Corporation - OwnerMy home is near Eaton CO where I have lived for the past 25 years. My work as a nutritionist has ranged across Colorado, Texas, Indiana, Kansas, and Belize for over 23 years. I enjoy working with dairy operations across a wide range of facility designs including open lots, grazing systems, free stalls, parallel parlors, herringbone parlors, rotary parlors, cross-ventilated, and robotic milking systems. Part of my life’s work has involved modeling rations and managing nutritional programs that meet all stages of animal requirements from a wide variety of feed stuffs within complex production systems. Raising my family and enjoying my grandbabies has been my life’s blessings.
I earned my Doctorate in Ruminant Nutrition from the University of Wyoming in 1996. I was Board Certified as Diplomate by the American College of Animal Nutrition in 2005. Upon graduating I worked for a large cattle-feeding operation in Colorado and was responsible for improving feeding and steam flaking operations. In 2000/2001 opportunities to work within a large dairy cooperative system led to direct consulting with dairy producers in several states. In 2007 I joined an independent dairy consulting group and in 2018 founded Integer (Z) Corporation to continue providing exceptional independent nutritional consulting services.
I define success as exceeding our client’s performance goals over time. My 25 years of experience working in production agriculture has exposed me to a wide variety of “on-farm” challenges and opportunities. To better recognize these challenges and opportunities we use in-depth statistical analysis of key performance indicators in combination with detailed routine farm walk-throughs. Hands-on experience and data driven solutions enable better nutritional management decisions and better operational decisions at every level. Ultimately, our mission is to show improved herd performance, profitability, and sustainability for every individual client over time.
