Ahead of the Herd: Results That Lead is a limited-series GPS DairyCAST highlighting how the next generation of consultants is driving meaningful change on modern dairies.
In each episode, GPS NextGen consultants share how they approach complex challenges, earn trust quickly, and turn insight into action - without being bound by “how it’s always been done.” These conversations focus on thinking, leadership, and accountability.

From recruiting and onboarding to mentorship and professional growth, this conversation takes a behind-the-scenes look at how GPS Dairy Consulting is intentionally building its bench. Tune in to hear how fresh perspectives, technical expertise and experienced mentorship come together to develop consultants who are prepared to serve dairy producers for years to come.
