Heifer calves are the future of your herd. - Rearing dairy heifer calves is the second largest annual expense on a dairy farm, and the cost of rearing a heifer is not recovered until her second lactation. Good calf-rearing practices are necessary to maximise good economic and animal health outcomes on your farm.Our new course, Introduction to Calf Rearing is taking place on Thursday 6th of July. This is a full-day course covering colostrum management, environmental assessment, nutrition, growth, and prevention and treatment of common diseases such as calf diarrhoea and pneumonia.. This course is a mixture of lecture, discussion, cases and practical hands-on experience. Are you employing new calf-rearers on your farm? Or interested in a refresher course? Contact the Farm Office or speak to one of our vets to find out more. Spaces are limited, so early registration recommended!
