So, yeah, it was due for an update for sure.
2:45
And listeners might not be as in the weeds on this as we are, but we actually have had a few different industry updates that we've published in the past year or two.
2:55
We did the Iowa dairy survey, which is in process and probably up in the extension store now.
3:03
If not, it will be soon and we have a white paper on our website.
3:06
We also did a feasibility review of niche processing in Iowa that's available on our website on the on-farm processing page, which this team also worked on.
3:18
We also have this economic report as well.
3:25
We were due for a lot of updates, especially considering how rapidly the economy is changing, how rapidly dairy is changing in the state of Iowa.

So you have a little bit more time.

Uh, and then by the time we actually get you, um, get you to a biologically normal, uh, uh, milk replacer feeding regimen, we're about to start weaning you.
5:34
[laughs] And maybe, uh, you have some rumen development.
5:39
We like to talk about the rumens being developed in calves when they're weaned, but they aren't developed, they are developing still.
5:47
Um, and I, so I, I think we need to change our language a little bit when we're talking about that and recognize that it is still an active process of development when we are weaning calves.
9:08
Okay.
