We’re looking for a Dairy Consultant to partner with progressive dairy operations and help drive herd performance, nutrition efficiency, and overall farm profitability.

This role is hands-on and relationship-driven, working directly with dairy producers to turn data, nutrition, and management insights into real-world results.


What you’ll do

  • Nutrition & Ration Management: Formulate and optimize dairy rations using industry tools and forage data to improve milk production, feed efficiency, and herd health
  • On-Farm Consulting: Visit farms regularly to evaluate feeding programs, cow comfort, and overall performance, and provide practical, timely recommendations
  • Data-Driven Insights: Analyze milk production, intake, and efficiency data to guide decision-making and track progress toward client goals
  • Forage & Feed Strategy: Support silage management, feed sourcing, and cost-effective ingredient decisions
  • Client Partnerships: Build strong, trusted relationships with dairy owners and managers and develop long-term herd improvement plans
  • Collaboration: Work alongside internal teams, veterinarians, lenders, universities, and industry partners
  • Business Growth: Support existing accounts while identifying opportunities to expand services and impact


What we’re looking for

  • Degree in Dairy Science, Animal Science, or related field (or equivalent experience)
  • Strong understanding of dairy nutrition and production systems
  • Ability to build relationships and communicate effectively with producers and teams
  • Comfortable using ration software, Excel, and data tools
  • Strong problem-solving skills and a practical, solutions-focused mindset
  • Self-motivated, organized, and comfortable working in a field-based role


Details

  • Field-based role with frequent farm visits and travel
  • Early mornings, flexible hours, and occasional weekends based on client needs
  • Passion for dairy and helping farms succeed is essential


If you want a role where nutrition, data, and relationships directly impact farm success, we’d love to connect.
