As we come up on Mother’s Day this weekend, I’ve asked Sarah Daugherty from Paramount Calves back to talk about being a mother of 6, and balancing a high-performing work life and a high-performing family life. 

From performance pressure to kids’ sports to setting priorities and saying no, any mom or dad who pursues excellence both at work and at home will relate and can grab a few nuggets of wisdom from this honest conversation about hard things and what really matters. 

This one hit home for me, and I think it will do the same for you.This episode is sponsored by Uplevel Dairy Podcast Founding Partner Adisseo, a global leader in nutritional solutions and premier provider of rumen-protected methionine for dairy producers who want to optimize milk production, capture more value from components, and maintain the health of their high-performing herds.

If you are spending way too much time on hiring new employees, training and retraining, only to keep experiencing the exhaustion of turnover, this episode is for you.

And my guest today is a higher performer in deed: Sarah Daugherty, workforce development manager at Paramount Calves LLC, in Darlington, Wis.

Sarah is going to tell you how she has saved herself the time and stress of constantly training new employees and the drag and drama of hard conversations to experiencing very little turnover and creating systems that support Paramount’s high-performing teams, which include 50 employees across three sites in Wisconsin and Kansas, who care for 25,000+ replacement heifers.

And these 3 hacks you are about to hear aren’t fancy. In fact, all you need to do it yourself are a few pieces of paper. Keep listening to learn …


The simple exercise Sarah walked herself through that has crafted the core of the culture at Paramount Calves




The key benchmark she monitors for employee turnover




And the hack she created with just four sheets of paper that changed the game on retention.



If zero employee turnover and high performing teams is what you are striving for … I believe you will want to really take some tips from Sarah. 

Bonus: And Sarah will join us again later this week to shift gears from management to motherhood. I’ve invited this mom of 6 back on for a special message for all the moms as we head into Mother’s Day!

Meet Young Leader Ytsje Andringa, a driven woman whose path seems to always lead her back to the driver’s seat of a silage truck.

She’s the daughter of Dutch immigrants, oldest of 6 and a mother to 3.

This Young Leader will blow you away with her determination to do hard things and go after her dairy farming dreams every single day.

Hear about:


The challenges she faces as a young dairy producer dealing with salespeople and managing employees three times her age

And a few fun silage truck-driving stories

If data has turned into the time-consuming monster that is stealing your focus, delaying decisions and dragging down your progress, you will want to keep listening because I’ve got something important that could change the game for you on this episode of the Uplevel Dairy Podcast.

Our guest understands these challenges because he was a dairy manager himself in Texas for well over a decade, who faced the same struggles: He wanted the right data, at his fingertips, integrated in a way that allowed him to use it as a tool to improve performance and move his dairy forward.

And so he created his own solution: Dairy Performance Network. 

Manny Salcedo founded DPN seven years ago, and you are about to hear:


How Manny came up with his own solution for slaying that time-consuming data monster


The story behind this customized software integration and data analytics system that connects people, cows and technology


The results: Higher levels of employee engagement and hitting real performance benchmarks that make a difference to the dairy producer’s bottomline
