Brady Goetz, PhD, is owner of Goetz Dairy Consulting, LLC.

Brady works with progressive dairies in the I-29 corridor and Plains Region to improve performance across the entire system, from calf and heifer development through transition and into lactation, with a primary focus on driving results in the milking herd. His approach centers on aligning nutrition, management, and people to create consistent, high-level performance. Brady brings strength in heifer development and transition programs, ensuring animals enter the milking string prepared to perform and support long-term herd success. Known for his direct and practical style, he challenges clients to think differently, identify bottlenecks, and execute at a higher level while working closely with ownership and management teams to strengthen communication, improve training, and build systems that drive accountability and results.

Brady’s approach is grounded in hands-on experience managing employees and daily dairy operations, giving him a practical understanding of what it takes to implement change on-farm. He thrives working with dairies that are motivated to improve, open to change, and committed to doing the small things right every day. Brady earned his PhD in Animal Science from Iowa State University under Dr. Lance Baumgard, focusing on immune activation and nutritional strategies to improve cow health and performance.

Brady, his wife Taylor, and their daughter live in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
