Utah’s largest dairy developing at strategic pace
By Stacey Smart stacey.s@dairystar.com
ELBERTA, Utah – Situated at the foot of the Wasatch Mountains on the shores of Utah Lake sits Bateman’s Mosida Farms – the largest dairy farm in Utah. Here, the Bateman family milks 8,000 cows on two dairies located 1 mile apart.
“Our guiding principle is if you take care of the cows, the cows will take care of you,” Brad Bateman said. “My grandma always said that. She loved the animals, and she taught us a lot.”
Continuing in the footsteps of their predecessors’ passion for cows, Brad and his brothers, Steve, Jason and the late Lance Bateman, are the managing partners of Bateman’s Mosida Farms, which is celebrating 50 years. The progressive operation offered a virtual tour of its dairy Oct. 6 at World Dairy Expo in Madison, Wisconsin.
Located an hour south of Salt Lake, Bateman’s Mosida Farms is home to a total of 20,000 animals, which in-
cludes a herd of 2,000 beef cattle. All youngstock are raised on-site, with calves being raised in outdoor hutches.
The Bateman family’s involvement in the dairy business dates back to the early 1900s. Wayne Bateman bought the current farm in 1972, starting out with 400 acres and 120 cows. He built a double-10 parallel parlor and grew from there, adding about 50 cows per year to the herd while also increasing acreage.
By the early 1990s, the Batemans were milking about 600 cows and upgraded to a double-20 parabone parlor in 1994. In 1999, they began an expansion to a twin double-40 milking parlor which would set the stage for Hillside Dairy. In 2000, one side of the new dairy opened up to milk 1,800 cows. And two years later, the other side opened, growing the herd to 4,500 cows.
The Batemans milk 7,400 cows at Hillside Dairy and 620 cows at Lakeview Robot & Research Center. The farm’s new robotic dairy was completed in April and also serves as a research facility to evaluate new technologies, products and processes.
“The new robotic barn and research facility was a push from the younger generation,” said Kaleb Bateman, Lance’s son. “We want to take what we have and grow it. The robot barn is a good way to milk cows with minimal labor, and we’re able to grow into it. Cows in the robot barn do extremely well, and their somatic
cell count is crazy low.”
The Batemans were looking to grow their herd but were about 15 employees short at Hillside Dairy when they turned to robots as a possible solution.
“Guys were working double shifts, and we were pulling our hair out because labor was such a challenge,” Brad said.
“The cows love the robots They have better body condition, and the pregnancy rate is higher than at the main farm There’s hardly any stress in that barn.”

Featuring tunnel ventilation and 12 robotic milking units, cows at Lakeview produce 3-4 more pounds of milk than the cows at Hillside Dairy.
“Our robots are the future,” Kaleb said. “I love them; I think they’re amazing.”
Producing more than 750,000 pounds of milk per day, cows at Bateman’s Mosida Farms average over 100 pounds of energy-corrected milk with a 4.2% fat and 3.4% protein. The herd maintains a 39% rst-service conception rate and a 31% pregnancy rate.
The robot dairy is bedded with compost, while sand is used at the main dairy. Manure management involves ush and scrape and slope screen separation. In addition, a new facility was added to support secondary separation.
“Our lagoon is very small, so we’re going to put in a couple new lagoons so we can hold more water through the winter,” Brad said.
The farm currently pulls water from three wells located on the farm.
“There’s a serious drought right now in the west, especially in Utah, and we have a lot of acres we haven’t been able to farm,” Brad said. “We lost water from the nearby lake, so that’s a big challenge, which is why we just drilled a new well to provide another source of water. There’s an incredible water aquafer underneath our farm.”
The Batemans farm 3,500 acres. Everything is double cropped with corn and small grain mixes such as wheat, barley and triticale.
“With a crop always in the ground, we have improved soil health, reduced runoff and less wind erosion,” Brad said. “We’re in a lakebed area, so the soil here is not that great. It’s a sandy loam, higher alkaline type soil.”
The farm strives to produce the most milk per farmable acre. Byproduct and concentrates ll the large needs of the ration not supplied in forages,
and essential nutrients include minerals and vitamins, amino acids, fatty acids and other micronutrients. The farm also added choline with the elimination of rBST. They have worked to ensure proper rumen and liver function, which has resulted in fewer transition issues and higher milk peaks.
“The Bateman family is very proactive and does a fantastic job of staying ahead of the curve,” said Laun Hall, the dairy’s nutritionist. “Focusing on transition cow management with a proactive program, our goal is to nurture the cows to get high production. It’s an aggressive diet, not a high straw diet. We try to match the specs closer to what we would for a lactating cow.”
The farm does amino acid balance and fatty acid balance in both lactating and dry cows and uses choline in closeup and fresh cows and a bolus and other types of calcium to maximize performance.
Hall said the Batemans’ research facility is one of a kind. The farm uses labs to determine what is happening with ketosis and fresh cows. They also have the ability to do serum or any type of assay in their laboratory.
“Here, we can have a high number of experimental data,” Hall said. “We can get the accuracy of a university study combined with the reality of an on-farm study.”
Bateman’s Mosida Farms has 120 employees across multiple businesses including 80 employees at the dairy.
The Batemans have added a trucking company and milkhouse supply company, and in 2020, they expanded into the beef sector. Mosida Market is the name of the family’s beef and butcher shop business.
“We started by dabbling in crossbreeding, breeding our lower-end stock to a beef cross,” Kaleb said.
They created Angus-Jersey, AngusHolstein and Holstein-Wagyu crosses
and now produce 40 to 100 beef calves per week and harvest about 12 animals for retail weekly. The family has three retail locations after purchasing an existing butcher shop in December 2020. In addition to beef, Mosida Market also sells pork, lamb, elk, chicken and turkey. Beef is sold through the retail shop, online or in bulk as quarter, half or whole carcasses.
“Mosida Market was a natural t for us,” said Mallory Tucker, Brad’s daughter. “It’s been so fun to interact with customers directly. This is an opportunity to be a face for agriculture and put a face with the local farmer.”
The dairy uses genomic testing to determine if a heifer makes the mark to be a dairy replacement or if she will move to the beef side of the operation.
“Our error for genomic testing is 1% or less,” Brad said.
The Batemans take environmental stewardship and sustainability seri-
ously. The use of solar energy, reusing water and feeding byproducts are some of the practices utilized.
“We have incorporated many sustainable practices on our farm and found that sustainability is protability,” Brad said.
The Batemans added a solar farm in 2017 – one year after winning the U.S. Dairy Sustainability Award as an Outstanding Dairy Farm.
“Electricity rates never go down, so this helps us hedge against future rate hikes,” Brad said.
Producing 900 kilowatts of net metering, all electricity produced is used on the farm and is almost enough to run the entire farm every day.
On the cutting-edge of quality and sustainability, the current partners have instilled in the next generation a desire to look toward the future and anticipate the next big thing for their diversied operation. Rather than being content, the partners want their successors to continually look for ways to further the business. Building a new meat processing facility and an indoor feed facility are a couple of the farm’s goals. The Batemans would also like to update their dry cow closeup facility and are thinking about moving those cows indoors.
“We would like to enclose our dry cow pens because we feel there’s more milk in those cows if we can get them out of the sun,” Brad said.
A robot barn expansion is also a possibility for the future as the Batemans look to continue incremental growth on the dairy.
“We’re open to whatever opportunities come our way,” Brad said.

Questions for employer
Tell us your favorite experience of Maddy helping with chores. Dairy farming isn’t always roses and lollipops; we experience tough days. Maddy has had her fair share of experiences, good days and bad, on our farm. Some may say the bad days would be their least favorite, but these experiences are real and teach her so much. She stays calm during the difcult situations and is not afraid to call or ask for help. She’s here to see many calves take their rst breath and shared tears with us when others took their last. We are glad she has had so many physical and emotional experiences on a dairy farm.
What qualities does Maddy have that benet the farm? Maddy is a great employee and is willing to learn new things. She goes above and beyond to help us when we need her. She is extremely attentive and listens well to instructions. She cares for our animals as if they are her own. We can trust her and believe in her to care for our herd so we can get away once in a while. We cherish the relationships we build with our employees. Maddy will stop by just to say hello or hang out with us. We love her like family.
Questions for Maddy
What are your responsibilities on the farm? I focus on raising our heifers. I watch growth, make nutrition goals and train heifers for shows. In my internship at Sunsett Dairy, I am learning more about nutrition, breeding, veterinary diagnostics, career opportunities in the industry and more. I also help the Hughes family at Sunsett Dairy with their everyday chores: milking, feeding calves and whatever needs done around the farm.
When did you begin helping on the farm? My sisters and I have been raising and developing our herd of Red and White Holsteins, under the Red Blossom prex, for 11 years. We manage our small herd as a team and appreciate elite red genetics, longevity, milk production and showing quality animals. Our animals are boarded at Sunsett Dairy in Pittsville, Wisconsin, and at Dorsland Farms in Junction City, Wisconsin, where my older sister, Hannah, is the herdsman. I farm with my sisters, Hannah and Grace. We work with the Hughes family: Stephanie and Alan, and their sons Bryce, Gavin and Derek. We are grateful to have the opportunity to learn from the Hughes family.
How do you balance school, extracurricular activities and farm chores? I work alongside my sisters to manage our herd of show cattle. I have developed time
management skills and stay organized to stay active in many activities. My family is supportive and encourages me to be involved in organizations. I also work for Memory Lane Farm as a youth apprentice. Memory Lane Farm is a faith-based non-prot providing mentoring, agriculture educational camps, opportunities for foster and kinship families, social events and more. I plan these events, work alongside the executive director with program development, interact with all demographics and manage marketing. I enjoy fostering kittens with my family for the Feline/Canine Friends Program. I am a member of Pittsville FFA and Pittsville National Honor Society, serving as president for my second term in both organizations, and the Pittsville FCCLA and FBLA chapters. I am class president on student council and serve as the student representative on the Pittsville School District School Board. I am involved in the Wood County and national Holstein associations, competing in dairy quiz bowl, jeopardy and public speaking contests. I am serving as the Wisconsin Holstein Association Princess. This opportunity has given me the platform to advocate for the dairy industry and spread my passion of raising registered show cattle.
How has working on the farm shaped your character? Working in the dairy industry has helped me become more physically and mentally tough. It has been a challenging but fun experience, teaching me how to troubleshoot problems, be brave and learn how to both be independent and work as a team.
What do you love most about farm life? I love being able to watch calves grow into productive, quality cows. It shows that hard work pays off, and it teaches many life lessons. My sisters and I are proud of our bred and owned junior animals. We strive to improve our herd with every decision.
What is one thing you have learned from working alongside your employer? At Sunsett Dairy, Stephanie has taught me to learn something new every day. Whenever I am at my internship, I learn something new about current events in the industry, common ailments in cattle, nutrition, genetics, showing, equipment or technologies. I truly have cherished the opportunity to learn and grow as a young adult in the dairy industry.
What are your future plans? After high school, I plan on attending college for agricultural marketing or communications.

New technology for management of grazing
Pasture walk event demonstrates PaddockTrac
By Jan Lefebvre jan.l@star-pub.com
VILLARD, Minn. – Walter Organic Family Farms was the site of a pasture walk event Sept. 22 to demonstrate technology developed by the University of Missouri called PaddockTrac, which measures, tracks and records data on forage growth to help with grazing management.
Angie and Nate Walter, along with eight other dairy farmers across the country, are testing PaddockTrac before it becomes available on the market.
The Walters milk 100 organic crossbreds and rotationally graze the herd on 160 acres. The pasture walk was held on
a eld of alfalfa, red clover, rye grass, fescue and other grasses.
The event was hosted by the Sustainable Farming Association of Minnesota, Dairy Grazing Apprenticeship and Pope County Soil and Water Conservation District.
The Walters, along with Melissa Behrens of Pope County SWCD and Adam Gillins, an apprentice at the Walters’ farm through DGA, were presenters.
Gillins showed how PaddockTrac is mounted onto the front of a four-wheeler and plugged into the cigarette lighter. As the user drives around the pasture, PaddockTrac uses sonar waves to take up to 50 photos per second, which are compiled in readings to measure forage heights. Each reading consists of 300 images. The PaddockTrac app then analyzes the readings and sends that data via Bluetooth to the user’s phone.

Turn to PASTURE WALK | Page 11
GRACE JEURISSEN/DAIRY STAR
Producers gather to discuss grazing management during a pasture walk Sept. 22 on Walter Organic Family Farms near Villard, Minnesota. The Walter family has been pilo ng PaddockTrac, which measures forage growth.
making and applying it to grazing,” Gillins said. “It’ll help give us an idea as to where we should be grazing next.”
Before measuring a grazing eld, the user enters locations and dimensions for each pasture using Google Maps and also inputs what is growing on each one. To establish a base height for pasture readings, the user drives on a road or gravel driveway and takes three readings. Once a base height is set, PaddockTrac is ready to use in the pasture.
Since the readings are more accurate if the user drives in a zig zag pattern at a steady rate of speed, it is best to have the phone mounted on the four-wheeler to allow for full focus on driving. Since PaddockTrac records images that show where pastures are sparse or dense, it takes that into consideration before determining if the pasture should be grazed or not at the time of a reading. PaddockTrac also allows the user to set goals for pastures and gives analysis as to how well those goals are being met.
Currently, PaddockTrac is only set up as a grazing tool for measuring forages.
“It’s designed right now for grazing dairies,” Angie Walter said. “It doesn’t do crops, just grass.”
It also does not yet offer a lot of choices as to types and combinations of forages to input before using, which affects its accuracy.
“The types of forages that it has on le and the feed value of those forages right now is limited,” Gillins said.
Gillins said some of the Walters’ paddocks have more forages in them than could be entered into the app, which affected accuracy of results. However, the app is only in development, so input options and adjustments will be added as
test results and feedback becomes available.
“We’re giving (the University of Missouri) feedback so that they can improve it for when the general population would purchase it,” Walter said.
Dr. Stacey Hamilton, University of Missouri dairy specialist, is one of the leads on the pasture technology team.
“Our goal is to make a system that enables producers to make proactive decisions regarding their pasture management, which ultimately leads to success nancially and environmentally,” Hamilton said. “We are pleased so far. There have been a few hiccups, but that is expected in rolling out new technology. The team, based on feedback, is constantly striving to improve the entire system.”
The Walters are using PaddockTrac on all their grazed elds about every seven to 10 days. They test all the elds on the same day so the comparisons are more accurate. According to Gillins, once PaddockTrac is set up, getting the readings takes very little time and effort.
“The app is really easy to use,” Gillins said. “As far as the actual doing of the measurements, it’s very simple.”
Since PaddockTrac is in testing mode, the Walters and other farmers using the technology also analyze their forage heights using more time-consuming but traditional methods such as grazing sticks or plate meters to check PaddockTrac’s results for accuracy. The hope is that a year from now collected data will allow for improvements to get the technology ready for marketing.
With many dairy farmers experimenting with more grazing and stretching the grazing season, PaddockTrac is one more tool that might soon help farmers apply data and save time in making their grazing decisions.
