Calf Rearing
Introduction
Calf rearing is a very important job on the dairy farm. Calves are the future of the dairy herd, representing the best genetics on the farm.
Inadequate attention during the first few weeks of life results in calves that:
- will not meet liveweight targets and so delay age at first calving
- are more prone to disease
- cost more to rear
