In September 2017, I became a mom … to twins! The husband and I are the parents to one little farm boy and one little farm girl. While I have forgotten what “sleep” is, we have never been happier.

A new greensite dairy for Velrob Farms isn’t just a part of the Veldman family’s succession plan. It is also an extension of their efforts towards sustainability.

Right-sizing the heifer population to fit replacement needs not only reduces raising costs, but it can also provide an opportunity for the best future milking females to thrive.
