Amelicor is excited to welcome dairy veterinarian, educator and advocate Dr. Michelle Schack as the keynote speaker for the 2026 Herd & Feed Management Conference, taking place October 28–29 at South Point Hotel in Las Vegas.
Hear why Dr. Schack is looking forward to joining dairy professionals in Las Vegas for two days of learning, collaboration and practical training.
In her keynote, Dr. Schack will speak about “data, decisions, and the people behind both”—a theme informed by her work with dairy producers, employees, and consumers.
Dr. Schack is a dairy veterinarian and partner at Dairy Veterinary Services in Arizona. She works directly with dairy producers on herd health programs, milk quality, reproduction services and animal welfare evaluations.
Her experience extends beyond veterinary care. Dr. Schack is a strong advocate for improved farm management practices and is the co-founder of DairyKind, an online training platform created to strengthen dairy workforce education and accountability.
Through her DairyDoc social platforms, she also helps consumers understand dairy farming and milk production. She has carried that educational work into children’s literature with a book explaining how milk travels from the cow to the carton.
This combination of veterinary experience, employee education, animal care and public outreach provides real-world context for a conversation about how dairy operations use information, make decisions and support the people responsible for putting those decisions into practice.
Dr. Schack’s keynote will be part of two days filled with hands-on software training, important product updates, practical discussions and opportunities to work directly with members of the Amelicor team.
The conference will include dedicated sessions for herd management, feed management and DHIA professionals, along with opportunities to exchange ideas with other Amelicor users from across the dairy industry.
