Great set up. Well managed.
Looks like Rachel has good attention to detail 👍
You will never beat a simple calf hutch to rear a calf
Single hutches aren't liked by Red tractor
Super setup but are the jackets really needed?
Is there an isolation unit and are those individual pens completely sanitized between calves
Which powder is better for beef calves(aax)?
There are two milk powders The Calf Company would recommend for Beef calves. Both will work well.
Skim Powders
Elite - 25% Skim powder
21% Protein | 18.5% Fat
Elite is a 25% skimmed milk powder. This milk replacer is excellent for optimising calf growth along with giving calves a better coat bloom. Elite is made from high-quality dairy ingredients combined with carefully selected vitamins and minerals offering excellent palatability. It is suitable for dairy and beef calves which are being marketed at 2 to 5 weeks of age in livestock markets.
