Managing weaner calves through their first summer can be a challenge, join us to hear from a range of speakers including Agricom and Nutritech covering key strategies to help you navigate the season with confidence.
Topics include:
- Summer crop options and timing to first grazing.
- Feed degradation rate and ME.
- Best-practice crop establishment.
- Nutritional strategies for young stock: minerals, energy, and protein.
- Planning summer feeding and banking quality silage.
- What buyers are asking for and how to get calves there.
- Theileria management and parasite control.
- Managing calves post-transport: seller vs buyer responsibilities.
This event is hosted on a farm that has recently installed an automated calf feeding system using Bell Booth’s Calf Expert machines. You’ll get a firsthand look at the setup and hear directly from the host farmer about how the system works and supports their rearing goals. Mike Jenkins from Bell Booth will be presenting on the day also and able to answer any technical questions.
Whether you're rearing to finish, buying, or selling weaner calves, this event will offer practical insights you can take back to your operation.
