Our autumn issue focuses on comfort – something we all need as the nights draw in and there’s a chill in the air. We take a look at housing – for milkers, dry-cows, youngstock and calves, with a view to optimising health, welfare and productivity. 

​

And we also take a closer look at youngstock and calf rearing in this issue, timely since autumn-calving herds will be tasked with ensuring that the next generation of milkers get off to the very best start. Included are articles looking at the latest technical information and advice, on everything from calving through to weaning, to ensure that health and growth rates stay on track for heifers to hit target age at first calving.
