Future Success Begins with a Healthy Calf
A calf's true future potential depends on getting the best possible start at birth. High-quality colostrum, including how and when it is fed, is one of the most valuable ingredients in setting up a calf for long-term success.
Poor colostrum management can lead to failed transfer of passive immunity, a condition that can cost nearly $1,500 across the lifetime of a single calf.* When you choose to pair high-quality colostrum with strong protocols, you are making a long-term investment that impacts your bottom line and the future health of your herd.
