The objectives are to help producers understand their actual lameness prevalence on their farm, as well as what that is costing them in terms of direct expenses and potential lost income. Further, farms will be benchmarked on these metrics as well as compared to current industry benchmarks to show them where they stand. In addition to receiving reports and feedback from the Dairy Specialists, farms will participate in a discussion group to review results and findings.
