43: Strong Starts, Strong Futures: Mastering Colostrum Management
Want healthier, more productive calves? It all starts with colostrum management. In this episode of Ruminate This, we're joined again by Danielle Varner, Calf and Heifer Specialist at Cargill Animal Nutrition, to explore why quality and quantity matter, especially for bull calves and beef-on-dairy crosses. We discuss how investing in a well-executed colostrum protocol leads to stronger calves, fewer health issues, and long-term profitability, and why relying on “band-aid” products won’t fix poor management.
We also discuss the two pounds per day growth challenge - who’s achieving it and what it really takes. If you’re serious about raising healthier calves and improving farm success, this episode is packed with valuable insights you won't want to miss!
