Quality Reared Calves

Housing

The calf company continually do a full reviews of the facilities available for production. Particular attention is paid to ventilation, drainage and access. We have a dedicated construction team available to correct any issues.

Feeding

The type of feed and the method with which it is being fed is reviewed to establish if any improvements can be made. Growth rates, herd health and labour availability are taken into account so we can offer the best solution on problem units.

Calf health status

All disease issues are taken into account when the production review is conducted. Where necessary we will liaise with vetinary experts and discuss various options that are available to the producer.

Our main aim is to rear only best quality calves as this benefits the cattle throughout its life time.When leaving our farm the calves are dehorned, vaccinated with Rispoval 4 and fed on a 17.5% protein home mixed ration.
