For John Allwood in Chester, scaling from 110 to 1,050 cows meant making a bold call on land strategy 🐄

Rather than buying at £17,000 per hectare, he chose a different route, one that now underpins his entire expansion model and his son Jack's ambition to reach 2,000 cows by 2035. The decision wasn't without risk: no long-term contracts, land scattered across 13 parcels, and a delicate balance between growth, debt, and milk price volatility.

How did leasing instead of owning become the foundation of a €725,000 annual income and a thriving succession plan? 🌱

John and Jack Allwood are rapidly expanding their UK dairy farm, using leased land and a cost-based milk contract to support growth.

The American dairy industry is producing more milk than ever in 2026, yet farmers are caught in a margin squeeze that won't ease. 🐄

Feed costs have dropped, but milk prices are soft, and the herd is actually shrinking even as output climbs. One product is driving nearly all the growth in domestic demand, and it's reshaping where milk solids end up, but the question remains: can producers weather the pressure long enough to benefit?

US dairy production is rising, but farmers face margin pressure as milk prices soften and cheese demand remains strong.

For Kornél Vojcsena and his brother Daniel in Njegoševo, Vojvodina, building resilience meant taking a hard look at their 30-year-old family dairy operation. 🐄

With 400 lactating cows and pressure to keep up with regional modernisation, the brothers faced a choice: continue as they were, or invest in a direction that would change how they monitor herd health, manage labour, and control costs.

The fertile land was there, the herd was strong, but something had to shift to stay competitive. What did they decide to implement, and how is it reshaping daily life on one of Serbia's most advanced dairy farms? 🌐

A newborn calf in the Netherlands presented with star-gazing, underdevelopment, and limb deformities. 🐄

The Royal GD detected the Shamonda-like virus for the first time in a Dutch calf, but the link between infection and the abnormalities remains uncertain. With two SHAV variants now circulating across the country and evidence from related viruses pointing to serious pregnancy risks, the stakes for Dutch dairy farmers are rising.

Royal GD has detected Shamonda-like virus in a Dutch calf for the first time, although its link to the calf’s abnormalities remains unclear.

Greek dairy producers are heading toward a record €2 billion in export revenue this year, with yoghurt shipments up 38% and feta still dominating cheese sales. 🧀

But behind the export success, there's growing tension: a sheep pox outbreak is now hitting the sector where it matters most.

How will this affect feta production and the momentum built over six years of growth?

Read the full update:

Greek dairy exports are expected to surpass €2 billion this year, driven by strong growth in yoghurt and cheese exports.

🐄 For four Irish calf transporters, a 24-hour sea crossing just became a serious compliance issue. The Dutch authority intervened after calves were crossing international waters without milk, even though European rules require feeding every 9 hours. The transporters now face escalating fines starting at €3,000 per violation, but it remains unclear whether Dutch enforcement holds in this cross-border case. Ireland defends its animal welfare standards, while the Dutch veal sector condemns the practice but questions the regulatory interpretation. Read the full update 🌐

Irish calf transporters face Dutch penalties over claims that calves go without milk during the 24-hour sea crossing.

Preparing dairy cows for lactation: looking beyond milk fever 🐄📈

How can dairy producers ensure cows adapt smoothly during the critical first days of lactation? This article explores why transition management is shifting from treating post-calving disorders to proactive metabolic preparation—highlighting how subclinical hypocalcemia remains a hidden barrier to feed intake, rumen motility and immune function.

From controlled-energy dry diets to innovative nutritional strategies such as X-Zelit that stimulate natural calcium regulation before calving, effective transition programs are moving from correction to early prevention. A valuable read for dairy nutritionists, veterinarians and herd managers aiming for a strong, resilient start to lactation.

For Dutch cattle farmers and veterinarians, a wave of reports about fever, diarrhoea and sudden milk production drops led Royal GD to investigate eight farms in mid-August.

Lab analysis confirmed orthobunyavirus infections at four locations, but distinguishing the exact pathogen proved challenging with existing tests. Samples have now been sent to Germany's Friedrich-Loeffler-Institut for further confirmation, while GD continues to urge the sector to remain vigilant and report atypical clinical signs. 🐄

Read the full update:

A Shamonda-like virus has been detected on 4 Dutch cattle farms, with affected cattle showing fever, diarrhoea and reduced milk production.
