Enjoying a beautiful day at the Miner Institute in beautiful New York State.

I am excited to be attending the Dairy Nutrition and Management course put on by Cornell College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.

It’s amazing to be “back in school”. So much good information and rubbing elbows with some great nutritionists and veterinarians from all over the world

A big thank you to all the people back home taking care of my chores at the farm and duties at the vet clinic.

Did you know that your calves may be consuming billions of harmful bacteria when they are most vulnerable?
At UGVS, we have seen several cases where farms struggle with calf health and performance and we have discovered that fluid nutrition hygiene plays a large role in the resolution of these issues. This can be a challenge because heavily contaminated milk may look and smell great, but can be harbouring millions of bacteria per milliliter. The good news? Spot testing colostrum/milk/replacer hygiene is super simple and incredibly cost-effective.

At UGVS, our goal is to help our producers succeed. That’s why we are announcing a very exciting and fun way to improve your calf rearing program. Through some basic testing and protocol review we have helped many herds achieve their goals and hope to do so with many more!

We are holding a contest from now until April 15, 2025! To enter, call the clinic to book a calf, nutrition and hygiene appointment. At this appointment, we will have a brief discussion about what pre-weaning nutrition looks like in your herd, and take a sample of what the calves are drinking. We will submit that sample for testing and report the results to you.

At the end of the month there will be two prizes available .
• “The Squeaky Clean” prize for lowest bacterial load.
• “Hygiene Hero of the Future” for highest bacterial load.

Each prize will be $100 in credit on your account. Additionally, the first 15 herds to sign up will receive a FREE calf feeding price pack including a bottle, sample electrolyte packs and some helpful material to help take your calf care program to the next level.
At the conclusion of the contest, we will announce the winners and share our findings of the contest in a later newsletter. Please feel free to share this exciting initiative with others you know who are passionate about healthy calves!

We’d love to hear from you and answer any questions you have about this initiative!
