We’re proud to celebrate our client, Molly Andersen of McCracken Andersen Farms for being awarded the United Nations' 2026 International Year of the Woman Farmer!

At just 18, Molly chose to invest in her family’s dairy and has continued to grow the farm into what it is today. Her hard work and passion for dairy farming is truly inspiring.

Be sure to check out the attached article to learn more about Molly’s story!

For Molly Andersen, sustainability means much more than environmental stewardship. It means creating a farm business that can withstand challenges, support employees, adapt to changing markets and remain strong enough to continue for generations to come.

Shoutout to one of the wonderful herdsmen we work with — 4 weeks in a row with a 100% palpation rate in BOTH cows and heifers. Dr. Courtney has not diagnosed anybody as open in 4 weeks!

They’re also utilizing Merck Animal Health SenseHub Dairy technology to help identify cows in heat. So clearly this system and management combination is working!

Their current average conception rate for the cows is running 65%, with an all-time monthly high of 76% conception in February!

I told the dairy owner I wanted to post this and he said, “Don't say our name or everyone will be driving in here trying to hire him.” 😂

So we're keeping it anonymous for job security purposes. But we agreed he deserves to be recognized for all the hard work he puts in! Congratulations!

Braxton, Lilly, and Haylyn stopped by the clinic Saturday morning. The middle calf was a stag and required a quick cut castration.

Calves are looking great, guys—keep up the good work!
