Getting Started

For over a decade, Dairy Enterprise Services (DairyES) has been quietly working alongside some of the best dairy operations in the country.

What We Do

Every one of our relationships began with what we refer to as the “Frame-Up Exercise.”

STEP 1

This exercise begins prior to our first meeting with the client forwarding basic financial and production summary information for pre-analysis.

By doing this, we can gain a foundational understanding of the business’ cost structure, production model and financial leverage.

STEP 2

We then follow up with an on-farm, detailed discussion with all of the business’ owners in which historical perspectives, present situations and future goals are outlined. An important goal of this session is to uncover the management styles & priorities so we can do a better job of recommending actions which are most relevant.

STEP 3: INSIGHTS & GOALS

Through these first two steps, we uncover opportunities to better meet owners’ goals and capture efficiencies in various aspects of the operation including:

Scale efficiencies
Financial resources, restructuring
Support infrastructure (transportation, cropping, etc.)
Environmental resources & impact, proximity to urban areas
Management & labor resources

The final step is a presentation and discussion of observed operational and fiscal strengths and weaknesses of the business and an actionable set of high-level recommendations for immediate implementation.
