A typical 150 cow herd, rearing its own replacements to calve at 2 years, will have around £30,000 tied up in rearing heifers. Despite this considerable investment in heifers, figures from Kingshay’s Dairy Manager show that 16% fail to survive into their second lactation. This is often a result of heifers being poorly grown and unable to compete with their more mature herd mates. Use the Heifers at Turnout Farming Note to protect your investment in the future. |
