Waste milk – a “free” source of acceptable calf nutrition. Or is it?Technically, waste milk is not “free,” because there still is a cost to produce it. It is only perceived as free because there is nothing else a dairy can do with it.

Calves are creatures of habit. They crave physical comfort, companionship, and, of course, their milk ration.

One of the best things we can do as calf raisers is to deliver those elements consistently.

Raising calves is a serious business – one that has become increasingly precise in terms of nutrition, business operations, and health and management protocols. Refractometers provide on-farm precision for a number of management protocols that support calf health and performance.
