Episode 18 - Reducing bobby calves - a Dairy Farmers solution | Stuart Burr

Listen Later

In this episode I am joined by Stuart Burr, a sharemilker from Tasmania. 

Stuart can show you, anyone with the right mindset and planning can take matters into their own hands and stop euthanizing males calves on farm. 

With the processors announcing new requirements, this is a timely podcast, and well worth a listen:

  • How to maximize each insemination to reduce bobby calves 

  • How to use cows that don't conceive as ’multiple lactation’ cows 

  • How this works for the bottom line 

  • The mindset of adjusting your system to move with social pressures 

  • Genetics and breeding the ultimate cow to milk through

  • Feeding cows to maximise potential 

    • I really enjoyed listening to this podcast, and getting a hands on farmers perspective of controlling the narrative and taking action for better actions.
