Not long ago, beef-on-dairy was viewed as a side experiment to add value to low-demand dairy bull calves. Today, it’s become a practical strategy for both the dairy and feedlot sectors, boosting dairy margins while giving feedlots a steady, predictable supply of cattle.
As the segment has grown, the conversation has moved from whether it works to how it can work better. That evolution was front and center during the 2025 MILK Business Conference, where dairy producers and feedlot managers came together to compare notes, share lessons learned and discuss where beef-on-dairy is headed next.
