Check out our very own Dr. Tera Barnhart share why people truly are the key to better animal care and the importance of the relationships, knowledge, and dedication behind the work.

What if the hard days you're navigating right now are preparing you for something?

Dr. Tera Barnhardt knows what it's like to juggle a demanding career, motherhood, business ownership, and life in agriculture.

Her approach isn't about finding perfect balance. It's about learning to integrate it all, adapt when things change, and keep showing up.

And her advice for the hard days stuck with me:

Instead of asking, "Why is this happening to me?"

Ask, "What is this preparing me for?"

Sometimes the hardest seasons teach us the lessons we'll need most later.

Keep learning. Keep adapting. Keep showing up.

Dr. Kyle Becker joins the Uplevel Dairy Podcast to share how veterinary medicine is evolving from reacting to problems to getting ahead of them through better technology, diagnostics and data. But the technology only works when paired with experienced veterinarians who can interpret the information, build trust and keep the producer at the center of care. Tune in and catch the episode today!

What if veterinary medicine could become less about reacting to problems and more about getting ahead of them?

That's one of the things I loved digging into with Dr. Kyle Becker of Heritage Vet Partners.

Dr. Becker grew up on a dairy farm, started learning artificial insemination at just 12 years old, and eventually found his way into veterinary medicine.

Today, he's helping bring new technology and diagnostics into dairy veterinary care—including tools that can provide important information in hours instead of days.

But here's the part that really stood out to me: Technology is only part of the equation.

You still need people who know how to interpret the information, ask better questions, work as a team, and actually show up for the producer.

And that's exactly where Dr. Becker seems to thrive—challenging the status quo while keeping the relationships at the center of the work.

Dr. Jared Risser joins the Uplevel Dairy Podcast to share how his roots in dairy have shaped his career and how the diary veterianian medicine is more than just treating the livestock, its building the relationships with the clients. Tune in and catch the episode today!

Being a dairy veterinarian is about so much more than treating sick cows.

It's about building trust, solving problems, helping producers make informed decisions, and serving the people behind every dairy.

In this episode of the Uplevel Dairy Podcast, Dr. Jared Risser shares his journey into veterinary medicine, how technology is changing the profession, and why relationships will always be at the heart of great herd health.

It's a conversation every dairy producer and anyone interested in animal agriculture will enjoy.

Our annual Practice Support Team Summit was recently held in Kansas. We brought our teams together to take a deeper dive into the Practice Support Team model, creating greater alignment across departments and strengthening how we support our partners and practices. Through collaborative discussions, we identified opportunities to improve our processes, increase our effectiveness, and ensure we continue delivering exceptional support. It was a productive meeting focused on continuous improvement and our shared commitment to the success of our partners and the practices we serve. We are incredibly thankful to everyone who attended, our supporting industry partners, and to those who worked behind the scenes to make the Summit such a success.
