FAQ
Rearing calves is all about creating the farm’s new dairy herd. A young heifer calf is the milking cow of the future. Cow productivity is determined in the first weeks of a calf’s life. There is a strong correlation between pre-weaning growth and overall milk production in lactation. Every extra gram of growth per day before weaning results in 5 extra litres of milk per lactation. Or in other words: 100 grams extra daily growth as a calf, results in 500 litres of extra milk per lactation!
