title: Grouping management and physical facilities.
abstract: Grouping management is one of the most important activities on the farm. It requires careful assessment of the daily routine on the farm and the development of a grouping/feeding management plan as well as a management plan that includes prioritization of the needed changes. If a good job is being done in this area, the cows will be more likely to respond to good nutrition.
