Speaker Bio
MoDak Dairy is a dairy, beef and cropping operation located near Goodwin, S.D. Greg and his brother, Jim, are fourth-generation farmers, and Greg’s son, Jacob, is the fifth generation; together they own and operate the business, along with all the families involved in making the operation a success. The farm has been in the Moes family for 130 years. MoDak Dairy milks 2,500 Holstein cows three times a day; they farm 4,000 acres and raise beef-on-dairy cattle from birth to finish weights. In 2016, the dairy started selling their Limousin-on-Holstein-cross calves, and in 2021, they built and finished their new calf and heifer facility. At that time, MoDak Dairy also switched to Akaushi crossed with Holstein breeding. In 2022, they then switched from Limousin to Angus and Akaushi crossed breeding. Currently, MoDak Dairy has 3,000 head on feed from birth to finish.
