Criminal defence lawyer Joseph Neuberger explains what has changed, why many lawyers believe the new rules create a two-tier justice system, and why the Criminal Lawyers' Association and the Canadian Civil Liberties Association are challenging the legislation. Topics include: • Ontario's new cash bail requirements • Sureties and how bail works • Charter rights and the presumption of innocence • Reverse onus provisions • Overcrowded jails • Public safety versus constitutional rights • Why critics argue these reforms punish poverty instead of crime Is this meaningful bail reform, or simply the illusion of public safety?

Your story has several characters, multiple storylines, and probably some childhood flashbacks that keep sneaking in. And you can't quite answer the question every writer eventually has to face: what is your story about?If you've ever struggled to answer that in one sentence, this episode is for you. I'm walking through why ambitious first drafts get overcrowded, how to find the single core desire your story should orbit around, and what to do with everything else. You'll walk away with a clear way to tell a rich story instead of a crowded one, and the confidence to cut what's creating noise instead of clarity.Structure your story with this FREE 3-Act Worksheet.

Nationwide, animal shelters have been overcrowded and overwhelmed. Much of the burden may stem from the rising costs of pet ownership. We look at the issues shelters are facing, the many financial challenges pet owners are dealing with, and how major advances in veterinary medicine also come with a price.

What state are our prisons really in? At 98% capacity but with a 68% reoffending rate (for shorter sentences), it seems punishment we're good at, but rehabilitation we are not, nor are we freeing up space for other convicts, which in turn would help tackle the great criminal court backlog. To help us understand where we're headed - or where we'd like to be - we're joined this week by the head of the Howard League for Penal Reform.

Charles Spicer describes how, during the 1937 coronation of George VI, Ribbentrop hosted a chaotic, overcrowded party at the German embassy. Despite the champagne-fueled festivities, the event was a social failure that highlighted the growing friction between the two cultures. Meanwhile, Vansittart realized the traditional intelligence services had poor access to the Nazi leadership. He established a parallel network—"Van's Detective Agency"—utilizing Christie and Conwell-Evans as private intelligence sources. Conwell-Evans, previously optimistic, underwent a total volte-face in 1937, bravely shifting his focus to gathering intelligence through his high-level German networks to warn the Britishgovernment.

AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports bodies are recovered from a bus lying at bottom of a ravine after a deadly crash in southwestern Pakistan.

In this powerful episode of Talk Law Radio, host Todd Marquardt sits down with co-host Shannon Roberta Salmon to tackle a deeply critical issue where public safety, human rights, and constitutional law collide. Together, they shine a light on the alarming spike in inmate deaths and the systemic crises plaguing the Bexar County Detention Center. Todd and Shannon open the conversation by confronting the stark statistics: since 2020, 91 people have lost their lives within the Bexar County jail system—a massive escalation compared to previous years. From medical negligence and severe detox failures to violent cellmate attacks and heartbreaking suicides, the hosts read the names and stories of the individuals behind the statistics, reminding listeners that these are human beings who are legally presumed innocent while awaiting trial. The episode delves deep into the legal precedents protecting incarcerated individuals, highlighting landmark Supreme Court cases like Estelle v. Gamble (1976) and Brown v. Plata. They explore how the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition of "cruel and unusual punishment" mandates adequate medical care and humane living conditions—and how severe staffing shortages (with the jail short an estimated 150 personnel) and staggering overcrowding directly violate these constitutional mandates. The conversation also turns toward solutions. Shannon delivers a passionate look at the brutal reality of Texas prisons operating without air conditioning , while Todd examines potential paths forward, including Governor Rick Perry’s 2007 "Texas Model" which prioritized specialty courts and jail diversion programs over building new prisons. They close by debating the controversial Bexar County Diversion Center and questioning whether our justice system should rely less on iron bars and more on modern accountability tools like GPS monitoring. Key Takeaways: -The Crisis in Numbers: Bexar County Jail has seen a dramatic, unprecedented spike in inmate fatalities since 2020, driven by a lack of proper medical care, detox procedures, and basic safety. -Pre-Conviction Incarceration: Many individuals facing these hazardous conditions are detained pre-trial simply because they cannot afford to post bail, raising serious ethical questions about treating detention as an arbitrary punishment. -The Staffing & Overcrowding Link: An estimated shortage of 150 personnel leaves the remaining deputies unable to effectively run a safe facility, directly impacting inmate survival. -Defining the Eighth Amendment: Under constitutional law, deliberately denying necessary medical care or subjecting prisoners to hazardous, inhumane conditions—such as extreme Texas heat without air conditioning—constitutes cruel and unusual punishment. -Diversion Over Expansion: True reform lies in utilizing specialty courts (drug, mental health, and veteran courts) and technology like ankle monitors rather than building larger jails that our community will simply fill up. -Sponsored by Marquardt Law Firm and Financial Planning HQ -Go to marquardtlawfirm.com and financialplanninghq.net Have thoughts on the Bexar County Diversion Center or prison reform?

Notes Sample: “I Nearly Married a Human 2” by Tubeway Army Written and produced by Kinte Synopsis “Overcrowded (No Space to Heal)” brings the album's future fears into packed cities, rising rents, eviction, traffic, and emotional exhaustion. With “I Nearly Married a Human 2” as the sample, Kinte paints a world where people are physically close but spiritually disconnected. The song looks at overcrowding not just as a population problem, but as a crisis of housing, greed, loneliness, and lack of compassion. Chapter 4: Overcrowded (No Space to Heal) From the machine world, the story moves into the city. “Overcrowded (No Space to Heal)” shows a future where people are packed together but still deeply alone. Housing is too expensive, cities are too crowded, and people are emotionally exhausted. The track shows that the crisis is not just population growth — it is greed, inequality, and a lack of compassion. This chapter asks how people can heal when there is no room to breathe. #NoSpaceToHeal #Kinte #Overcrowded Lyrics [Verse 1] City packed like a fist every block stay clenched, Sidewalks got stories, every step feel pinched. New condos rise up like trophies for the wealthy, While the families down the street can't afford to be “healthy.” They build up the skyline, push the spirit down low, Whole lives in one room, still nowhere to go. Traffic move like a slow war, sirens in the score, Everybody “linked in,” but nobody's sure. We got billions on the planet, still lonely by design, Crowded in the physical starving in the mind. [Verse 2] Rent climbed like a rocket, paycheck stuck in sand, “Luxury” on the sign, but it's poverty in the plan. Parks turn to parking, shade turn to fees, Air tastes like exhaust and unspoken pleas. They tell you “just hustle,” like space grow on trees, Like sleep ain't a privilege you buy on your knees. I watch elders get priced out the block they survived, And the city call it “growth” while the people feel deprived. Overcrowded isn't numbers it's pressure in the chest, It's being everywhere at once and never feeling at rest. [Bridge] If the world too full, why the fridge still empty? If the world too smart, why the love still stingy? If we got all this progress, why the peace feel rented? If we got all these screens, why we still disconnected? [Verse 3] They sell “wellness” in a bottle, “peace” by subscription, Meditation app humming through another eviction. “Breathe in… breathe out…” while the landlord breathe threats, And a “selfcare” playlist can't pay off the debts. Kids grow up too fast like a glitch in the system, When your playground a parking lot, you don't learn how to listen. But we still find a pocket of sky between the wires, Still light little suns in community fires. We make room in the rhythm when the room too tight, Turn a hallway to a dance floor, turn a night into light. [Verse 4] I want cities that heal, not cages with views, Where the future ain't gated and the air ain't used. Where trees don't cost extra and water ain't rare, Where “home” don't mean panic every time you hear stairs. Overcrowded is a symptom, not a curse from above It's the math of greed subtracting out love. So I'm speaking to tomorrow like “open the door,” We don't need more towers we need space for the poor.

Even as the Las Vegas Valley's largest nonprofit animal shelter has routinely dealt with overcrowding, Henderson's shelter recently reported a live release of 91 percent so far this year. So what's making the difference – and can the rest of the city replicate that success? Yvette Fernandez, Regional Reporter in the Mountain West News Bureau for Nevada Public Radio, and executive producer Layla Muhammad join host Jesse Merrick to find out. Plus, the team discusses why NV Energy executives are drawing protests amid surging energy costs, and whether new life for a downtown motel could spell the start of a wider revitalization. Then, in our member's only bonus segment, we break down the best advice for what to do – and what not to do – when you're moving to Las Vegas.  Want to get in touch?

Willowbrook State School was supposed to be a “school” for children with intellectual disabilities but behind its doors, it became a warehouse of human suffering. Overcrowded, filthy wards held thousands of neglected children and adults, many left naked, restrained, or lying in their own waste, while disease, abuse, and even unethical medical experiments spread through the corridors. For years, families and staff whispers were ignored, until hidden cameras finally exposed the horror to the world, turning Willowbrook into a byword for institutional cruelty and a chilling reminder of what happens when society stops seeing certain people as fully human.

Let's examine an alternate timeline that sees the Knights of Takhisis take over, corrupt Dragonlances and raise a flying Citadel from Icewall. Buy Legends of the Twins: https://www.dmsguild.com/en/product/3252/legends-of-the-twins-3-5?affiliate_id=50797  https://youtu.be/7ptaSEFzU0A Transcript Cold Open Winter should never come in summer. But in this timeline, the snow never stopped falling… And the dragonlances themselves became weapons of darkness. Intro Welcome to another DragonLance Saga episode. My name is Adam, and today we're taking a look at one of the alternate timelines found along the River of Time: the War of the Darklance. I'd like to take a moment and thank the DLSaga members and Patreon patrons, and invite you to consider becoming a member or patron–you can even pick up Dragonlance media or get $10 by signing up to StartPlaying.Games using my affiliate links. I'm referencing the Legends of the Twins sourcebook for this information. If I leave anything out or misspeak, please leave a comment below. Discussion The River of Time carries every age, every hero, and every tragedy forward—but it does not flow as a single, unbroken stream. Branching from it are countless tributaries, alternate Krynns shaped by small divergences or catastrophic changes. The War of the Darklance takes place in one such world. Here, the Graygem is never broken. Chaos is never released. Wild Sorcery and Mysticism never emerge. Ambient magic lies dormant, subdued, and tightly controlled. At first glance, this seems like a safer world. But without Chaos to disrupt the fabric of time, the Balance itself becomes rigid—and fragile. When evil learns from its failures and ceases to destroy itself, the result is not equilibrium. It is domination. At the center of this darkness stands Lord Ariakan, son of Ariakas. Unlike the Dragon Highlords of the past, Ariakan does not cling to pride, infighting, or ancient grudges. Instead, he creates something unprecedented: a unified knighthood modeled after the Knights of Solamnia, but devoted wholly to Queen Takhisis. The Knights of Takhisis embrace modern ideals. They wield magic without fear. They integrate warriors, priests, and mages into a single doctrine. And most importantly—evil does not turn against itself. For the first time, the Dark Queen's forces march with discipline, coordination, and purpose. The turning point of the war comes with an act so profane that it scars the world itself. The Knights of Takhisis cannot create weapons of light—but they can corrupt them. Captured dragonlances are brought before a ritual involving three unholy artifacts: the Altar of Takhisis, the Wand of Corruption, and the Hammer of Darkness. Placed upon the obsidian altar, the dragonlances smoke and weaken. The wand suspends them in a field of pure evil, tearing at their magical essence. Finally, the hammer strikes the blade, sealing the transformation. Thus, the darklance is born. These weapons strip the Whitestone forces of their greatest advantage. And the ritual's consequences ripple outward—into the sky, the land, and the seasons themselves. In the year 383 AC, Ansalon enters a nightmare remembered as the Summer of Frost. Temperatures steadily fall throughout spring. By summer, the world freezes. Crops fail. Livestock die. Starvation spreads faster than any army. The sky becomes perpetually overcast. Paladine seems powerless. Even Chislev cannot restore nature's order. Faith begins to crack. And it is in this moment of desperation that the invasion begins. The Knights of Takhisis strike swiftly. Kalaman falls. The Northern Wastes and Nordmaar collapse soon after. At Icewall, the dead Highlord Aren Feal-Thas is reborn as a death knight, cursed and bound to undeath. Icewall Glacier begins moving north—alive, jagged, relentless—guided by Feal-Thas's thoughts and emotions. Floating above it is Icewall Castle, transformed into a flying citadel. White dragons patrol the skies, wielding darklances, while thanoi, sivak draconians, and barbarian tribes march below. Entire villages vanish beneath the ice. As the Blood Sea freezes solid, the minotaurs see their moment. Led by Chot Es-Kalin, they march across the ice toward Ansalon, beginning a brutal campaign of genocide against the ogres. Though larger and stronger, the ogres lack discipline. Battle after battle, the minotaurs advance—until the thaw comes too late for Chot's secondary forces, which plunge into the Maelstrom beneath the melting ice. Chot himself remains stranded on the mainland, facing an ogre counteroffensive with no retreat. The war spares no one. The Qualinesti Forest burns, assaulted by dragons and Thorn Knights. Qualinost is destroyed. Elves flee—some to Ergoth, others east toward Silvanesti, where they are met with resentment and fear. The High Clerist's Tower falls for the first time in history. Tanis Half-Elven and Steel Brightblade die in its defense. Their fallen comrades are buried in mass graves, their names carved into stone. Palanthas surrenders without a fight. The Tower of High Sorcery is destroyed from within as Dalamar the Dark brings it down to prevent the Knights of the Thorn from reaching the portal to the Abyss. Whether Dalamar survives is unknown. Ergoth becomes the last refuge. Overcrowded. Hungry. Diseased. Clerics of Mishakal work tirelessly, overwhelmed by suffering. Gnomes abandon invention for joy and instead build engines of war. Even the kender feel the weight of despair. Yet resistance survives. Merinda uth Brishard leads roving Solamnic knights. Galvan Stonebreaker wages his private war. Underground movements form in Palanthas and Khur. And even within the darkness, evil begins to strain against itself. Aren Feal-Thas seeks to overthrow Ariakan. Mirielle Abrena consolidates her own power. The Blood War threatens Ariakan's eastern flank. The Balance may yet reassert itself.  This timeline has no fixed ending. The Knights of Takhisis have conquered most of Ansalon. Winter still grips the land. Another natural winter is coming. The Heroes of the Lance are gone. Now, the fate of the world rests with new champions—thieves, killers, outcasts, and survivors—people who may have to abandon honor to preserve hope. If the war can be won, the scars will remain. The land will never be the same. And the people of Ansalon will carry this darkness forever. But if the fight is abandoned—then this tributary of the River of Time ends in ice, silence, and shadow. The War of the Darklance is a world where evil learned, adapted, and nearly won. A Krynn where hope is fragile, honor is costly, and the Balance hangs by a thread.  And that makes it one of the most haunting alternate timelines in all of Dragonlance. Outro But that is all the time I have to talk about the Alternate Timeline: War of the Darklance. Do you like the idea of Dragonlance's being corrupted? Can the death Knight Feal-Thas rival Lord Soth? And finally will the Knights of Takhisis ever be overthrown? Leave a comment below.

Inmates recall seeing feces on the walls and using tampons for earplugs to drown out the constant screaming of other prisoners. Today in Ontario, thousands more people are behind bars than just a few years ago. But the number of cells remains the same.Reports of violence, lockdowns and inadequate healthcare are on the rise. Most inmates haven't been tried yet and this is all happening while federal and provincial politicians debate new bail reform bills — legislation that could lead to even more accused people being incarcerated.Julie Ireton brings us this documentary called “Catch 22”

Everyone talks about how oversaturated the games market is, but the real issue is that you're also competing with creators, platforms, and every other demand on players' time and trust. Under that pressure, teams rush decisions: defaulting to what feels "safe," or treating creators and communities like distribution channels instead of partners. So today, we unpack how those shortcuts quietly erode long-term trust, and what studios building strong brands do differently. We'll dig into the early signals that show a community is genuinely taking root, how to use data without letting it replace judgment and vision, and how new IP can lead with emotional clarity in a world dominated by noise.

The podcast episode explores the perceived "2-year rule" for new motorcycle clubs (MCs) throwing parties or annuals, stipulations from coalitions, blacklisting practices, and whether any of this violates U.S. anti-trust laws. Let's break it down.Why Can't an MC Just Throw a Party Whenever It Wants? Stipulations & the "2-Year Rule"Traditional MC protocol often requires new clubs to "earn" the right to host events by demonstrating respect, loyalty, and commitment to the existing MC community. This isn't a universal "law" but a common practice enforced by regional Confederations of Clubs (COCs) or coalitions—loose alliances of established MCs that set guidelines to avoid conflicts, overcrowding of events, and territorial issuesrcvsmc.net +1.The "2-Year" Practice: Many COCs expect new clubs to start as riding clubs (RCs) and spend 1-2 years attending other clubs' functions, supporting events, and building relationships before "graduating" to full MC status and hosting their own parties. This includes paying entry fees, showing up consistently, and getting a "sponsor club" (an established MC vouching for them). The idea is to prove you're not a "pop-up" club causing drama or diluting the scenereddit.com +1.Why the Stipulations?: Overcrowded calendars (e.g., multiple parties on the same weekend) lead to low attendance and resentment. Coalitions coordinate to "space out" events and ensure new clubs "pay dues" by supporting others first. It's about maintaining order in a scene where rivalries can escalate fastfacebook.com +1.Origins: This stems from post-WWII MC culture, where clubs like Hells Angels and Outlaws established informal "rules" through dominance and respect. Coalitions (e.g., in Ohio, Texas) formalized it in the 1980s–90s to reduce violence and promote unity. It's not in any "official MC bible"—just evolved customscribd.com +1.Blacklisting/Blackballing by Coalitions: Is It Legal Under Anti-Trust Laws?Blacklisting (coalitions agreeing not to support or attend a club's events) or blackballing (excluding a club from alliances) happens when a new club violates protocol—e.g., throwing parties too soon or not supporting others. Is it anti-trust?Not Likely Illegal: U.S. anti-trust laws (e.g., Sherman Act 1890, Clayton Act 1914) target commercial boycotts by competitors with market power that harm trade (e.g., price-fixing, refusing to deal to raise prices)ftc.gov +1. MC coalitions are social/non-commercial—they're not businesses competing for profit. Boycotts here are about community norms, not economic harm. Courts have ruled similar social boycotts (e.g., NCAA rules, political actions) don't violate anti-trust if not commercially motivatedftc.gov +1.1920s/30s Anti-Trust Context: You mentioned anti-trust battles (e.g., Standard Oil breakup, Sherman Act enforcement). Those targeted monopolies and business cartels—not social groups. No cases apply to MC coalitions, as they're not "restraining trade" in a legal sensenyulawreview.org.Potential Gray Area: If a coalition has "market power" (e.g., controlling events in a region) and blacklisting harms a club's "business" (e.g., charity funds, dues), it could be challenged—but MCs aren't typically seen as commercial. No known successful anti-trust suits against MC coalitions.Should MC Protocol Change?Protocol isn't set in stone—it's evolved from military/veteran roots to modern realities. The 2-year rule and blacklisting promote stability, but critics say it's gatekeeping that stifles new clubs. With social media, recruiting is easier, so perhaps shorten probation or make coalitions more inclusive. But change risks diluting tradition—strong clubs adapt carefully.What do you think? Is the 2-year rule fair, or outdated? Call in and let's discuss.

THE CORONATION AND INTELLIGENCE NETWORKS Colleague Charles Spicer. The coronation of George VI in May 1937 became a backdrop for diplomatic maneuvering, culminating in a disastrously overcrowded party at the German embassy organized by the social-climbing Anneliese Ribbentrop. While Nazi sympathizers and high society mingled, the Anglo-German Fellowship was infiltrated by Kim Philby, who was hired to manage publicity while secretly reporting to Soviet intelligence. Simultaneously, realizing the futility of civilizing the Nazis, Conwell-Evans and Christie transitioned into functioning as a "private detective agency" for Vansittart, utilizing their access to gather intelligence that the official services lacked. Despite the social chaos and espionage, German War Minister von Blomberg attended the coronation and was well-received, hinting at alternative diplomatic paths had Ribbentrop not intervened.

The Coronation Party and Intelligence Channels: Colleague Charles Spicer recounts how during the coronation of King George VI in May 1937, the Ribbentrops hosted a disastrously overcrowded embassy party that alienated the British elite; distinguishing between genuine Nazi sympathizers in the Fellowship and those like Lord Lothian who began to harbor doubts about Hitler, this period sees Vansittart formally utilizing Christie and Conwell-Evans as his primary intelligence sources, recognizing the failure of official channels and illustrating the growing divide between the social veneer of diplomacy and the darkening reality of the Nazi threat. 1933

‘A prison system overwhelmed, overstretched, and unable to uphold the fundamental rights of many people in its care' – that is the stark messaging coming from a report from the The Irish Penal Reform Trust today. We discuss further with Saoirse Brady, Executive Director, Irish Penal Reform Trust.

AP correspondent Donna Warder reports on the tens of thousands of migrants who've died in the Mediterranean Sea.

Since January, the United States' migrant detention and deportation system, which was already troubled, has become increasingly opaque. Access to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facilities is restricted, internal oversight agencies have been hollowed out, and credible information about conditions inside is scarce. Yet reports that have emerged, some from those who have recently been deported, tell a troubling story echoing the darkest moments of recent U.S. immigration history. In late July and early August, researchers from WOLA and the Women's Refugee Commission (WRC) set out to pierce this “black box” by visiting cities in Honduras, Guatemala, and Mexico that are key deportation hubs. There, they interviewed deported migrants, service providers, advocates, experts, and government officials to learn what they are hearing about conditions in U.S. detention. The findings are disturbing. They point to a resurgence of family separations, cruel treatment, miserable, unhealthy conditions, and deportation processes that violate migrants' rights and dignity. With transparency mechanisms dismantled, these abuses are happening out of public view. In this episode, host Adam Isacson talks with two colleagues from WRC with whom he traveled: Zain Lakhani, WRC's director of Migrant Rights and Justice. Diana Flórez, a consultant to WRC, an attorney and expert on gender, transitional justice, development, and peacebuilding. During their travels, Isacson, Lakhani, and Flórez shared photos and initial findings in four “dispatches” published to our organizations' websites, from Honduras, Guatemala, Tapachula, and Ciudad Juárez. We heard consistent accounts of: Family separations: A larger number than expected of parents deported without U.S. citizen children, often without being given the choice of being removed with them. The crisis is approaching the scale of the “zero tolerance” family separations that shocked the nation in 2018. Inhumane conditions: Overcrowded cells, lack of medical care, and verbal and physical abuse by guards. Threats to the health of pregnant and lactating women and their children: Insufficient and poor-quality food, difficulty in obtaining medical attention, and even being forced to sleep on floors. (The podcast refers to a July 30 report on abuse in detention, especially of pregnant women and children, by the office of Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Georgia).) Targeting of vulnerable populations: Harassment of LGBTQ+ individuals, especially trans individuals who are now detained with the gender to which they were assigned at birth. As Lakhani notes, “Historically… we were able to enter detention centers and visit them and speak with migrants,” but “now we're seeing the deliberate creation of a black box.” We hope that the WOLA–WRC delegation's findings will guide future, more intensive on-the-ground research enabling advocates to refer egregious abuses requiring legal action, build a rigorous archive of known cases, and inform public opinion and policymakers.

This episode was recorded in Reno, Nevada, during the 2025 Western Dairy Management Conference. The panel is reviewing a presentation given by Dr. Rick Grant, who was unable to be on the podcast. The presentation was based on the idea that crowding is a subclinical presence. If you manage it with people and resources, a dairy can do very well. But if something happens in that crowded situation, like a disease or heat stress, it can tip performance over the edge. Evaluating time budgets for cows can allow for the identification of places to improve. Beds are vitally important. If a cow doesn't have a bed due to crowding then she's not lying down, chewing her cud, which is what allows her to be as efficient as possible. (3:19)Jason thinks about time budgets as a tool for managing stress. Jim agrees and notes that crowding is part of every cow's day, but we can manage to minimize that time in most instances. Jason and Jim talk about some of their approaches to evaluating crowding when they work with a dairy, and where pain points are often located. (5:57)Jason liked Dr. Grant's takeaway message that the cow doesn't necessarily care she's overcrowded as long as she has a bed she doesn't have to fight for and room at the feed bunk she doesn't have to fight for. He describes a very successful client who is overcrowded, but everything else is managed well. All other stressors have been removed, so the only stressor remaining is the overcrowding. But when additional stressors compound crowding, then dairies experience issues. He adds there is a huge opportunity for error when feeding to slick bunks in an overcrowding situation. (16:15)Jim talks about different measures of efficiency. Is it milk per cow, milk per free stall, milk per parlor stall, or milk per pen? He thinks the real answer is “it depends,” and the answer might be different for each dairy. Jason notes that the bank wants to see assets on a balance sheet, and the cows are the assets. (19:24)The group discusses geographical differences in overcrowding. Jim's observations show crowding increases as one moves east in the US. Tom agrees and notes 20-30% of the available stalls are in his part of the world. Overcrowded cows eat faster, and this impacts rumen efficiency, probably leading to lower de novo fatty acid synthesis and overall lower components. The panel talks about whether or not there is such a thing as an “overcrowding ration.”(20:59)The panel relays some real-world examples of crowding where dairies would cull cows to decrease milk production, but production would remain the same because the cows were now less crowded. They talk more about other management strategies that need to be on point if a dairy is going to overcrowd. (27:50)The panel wraps up with their take-home thoughts for dairy producers and nutritionists. Jim and Jason share their contact information with the audience.
