This collection of Beef on Dairy reports traces the evolution of Vermont’s effort to build a stronger, more coordinated beef–dairy supply chain – one that improves calf quality, increases dairy farm viability, and keeps more value circulating in-state. Together, these interim, year‑end, and final reports document the development of a data‑driven crossbreeding model, the formation of cooperative producer networks, and the growing partnerships that link dairy farms, beef producers, processors, and markets. By capturing lessons learned, production insights, and supply chain innovations over multiple years, this resource set offers a comprehensive look at how the Beef on Dairy program is addressing long‑standing misalignments and creating new pathways for Vermont farms to thrive.
