KaliberThe crucial period in calf rearing
If you want to achieve a younger calving age of your heifers, the most important rearing period is between five and eight months of age. Practical experience and research show that young calves can grow very quickly in this period: more than 1,000g a day in some cases! While increased growth is an extremely valuable part of reaching the insemination weight quickly, it’s also worth paying attention to the type of growth. Animals can grow through becoming fat or through the development of the muscles and carcass. The Kaliber Rearing Plan is designed to achieve the latter approach. Read on to find out more about how you can make the most of this crucial rearing period.
