About GPS Herd Manager Retreats

Held annually in partnership with Diamond V and Adisseo, our Herd Manager Retreats are designed to provide an atmosphere for sharing ideas and best practices among an elite group of herd manager peers at a family-friendly location.  As a team, we understand that family is an important ingredient to your team.

Over the years at these events, professional learning and development in the areas impacting the dairy’s bottom line have included:


  • Transition cow management
  • Foot health
  • People management
  • Feed management
  • Animal welfare
  • Safety
  • and much more.

We are excited for you to join us in IA, WI or MI!
