In this episode, Daniel Foy and Dr. Jim Reynolds are joined by Dr. Michelle Schack, Dairy Veterinarian and Co-Founder of DairyKind, to explore how structured, consistent training on farms directly shapes animal welfare, team performance, and culture.

Dr. Schack shares how her platform has delivered over 76,000 on-farm training sessions across the U.S., helping teams not only meet audit standards but understand the why behind every action. Together, the trio dives into the role of the veterinarian as an educator and culture-builder, the importance of timely and language-accessible training, and how digital learning tools can transform onboarding, retention, and long-term animal care.

From castration and colostrum to carbon emissions and compassion, this conversation shows how a training-first approach can elevate animal welfare, boost job satisfaction, and create lasting value across the dairy supply chain.
