Summer is upon us – which means green pastures,

Summer is upon us – which means green pastures, blue skies, and maybe lounging in a field with some cute companions? 😍But it also means HEAT! 🔅🌡️

Have your prepared your calves for the summer heat? Although there is less research on heat stress in calves than in cows, it’s safe to assume that if you’re feeling the heat – your calves are too. Here are some quick tips on preventing heat stress in calves:

🌡️ Ensure good ventilation if calves are in a barn – either natural ventilation or artificial ventilation such as fans and tubes
🌡️If calves are in hutches – make sure all vents are open and even prop open the back door. Also try to provide shade over hutches
🌡️Make sure calves always have access to water

Another heat stress tip to protect calves is to monitor your dry cows. A recent study has shown that calves born to heat stressed dams are smaller and produce over 5kg less per day in the first lactation! 🥵

For more info about heat stress in calves, head to the link in our bio to check out our Dairy Academy video from last summer.

Spring and summer is a busy time of year for farme

Spring and summer is a busy time of year for farmers. Livestock farmers are busy all year caring for their animals, but we know these warmer months have you out in the field and busier than usual. Sometimes this means spending less time in the barn and not keeping as close of an eye on your young animals.

That’s why it’s important to have good systems in place, and high quality milk replacer being fed, to ensure your animals stay on the right track while you’re busy with other jobs. Make sure to check-in on your calves, lambs or kid goats before you get too busy, and call one of our Young Animal Specialists if you have any questions or problems.

Happy #MilkReplacerMonday! Today we’re talking about our A+ milk replacers. We offer mildly acidified milk replacers for calves, lambs and kids - do you know the benefits of using a mildly acidified milk replacer?

Acidification refers to lowering the pH of the milk with the addition of organic acids. By doing this, studies have shown that animals have fewer health events and there is also a beneficial effect on milk intake.

Is A+ milk replacer right for your farm? Talk to your Grober dealer or reach out to one of our Young Animal Specialists to learn more.

Did you catch our webinar last week? We hosted Dr.

Did you catch our webinar last week? We hosted Dr. Kristen Edwards of Tavistock Veterinary Services to discuss 'Calf health & disease 101'.

The 3 ways to minimize disease in calves are colostrum, nutrition and environment. Head over to our YouTube channel to watch the recording of the webinar and learn more!
