About this episode

This episode features GPS consultants discussing how they challenge traditional practices in dairy operations.

Ahead of the Herd: Results That Lead is a limited-series GPS DairyCAST highlighting how the next generation of consultants is driving meaningful change on modern dairies. In each episode, GPS NextGen consultants share how they approach complex challenges, earn trust quickly, and turn insight into action - without being bound by “how it’s always been done.” These conversations focus on thinking, leadership, and accountability. In this episode of Ahead of the Herd: Results That Lead , GPS consultants Caleb Burch, Andre Pereira, PhD, BVetMed, and Trent Dado, MSc, join GPS Founding Partner King Hickman, DVM, to question what’s routine, respect what’s been built, and identify opportunities others overlook. Each of these consultants approach operations a little differently - through data, day-to-day execution, and modern systems - but they share one thing in common: they’re not satisfied with “good enough.” Learn more about GPS: ⁠https://gpsdairy.com/ Explore The Barn: https://www.gpsdairybarn.com/home
