10 New Ways to Help Your Calves Thrive
Only a month into a new year, and it’s not too late to make a resolution to improve your calf and heifer program. Replacement heifers account for 25 percent of a dairy’s costs, but that investment can vary significantly based on the efficiency of your nutrition program and the number of heifers on your dairy. Cargill works with producers across the country to develop growth system plans for young animal management to optimize cost per pound of gain and lifetime milk production.
