This past weekend, the McArt Lab ventured up north, through the snow, to Lowville, NY where we met with Dr. Mark Thomas and company of Dairy Health & Management Services (DHMS). DHMS is working with us on a collaborative project which we are excited to get rolling in the next month or so and will be sure to keep you all posted on!
During our visit, we had a chance to get to know the crew of DHMS, checked out some of their cool, new lab equipment, visited a few of the dairies we will be working with, and even got to know some of the hot spots of Lowville. Of course, no trip to North Country is complete without snow machining and cross country skiing. We all had a blast and even learned that, though Raf may have been born and raised in Brasil, he is LOVES snow sports!
