Look after your bobby calves.
Recently the public have been shown some graphic scenes of the treatment of bobby calves.
When I was share milking our dairy cow numbers increased to 250. There simply wasn't enough room in the calf pen on bobby calf day.
I rang the trucking company, they agreed that I would leave
the bobby calves in the pen next to the loading race then it was a simple task of walking the calves up the loading race into the pen.
Trust me readers, a person who has been in the truck with those bobby calves to realise it's so warm.
The treatment of the bobby calves mustn't be bruising or the freezing works would complain of bruised livestock.
Here's another thought to ponder - what if the cartage firm had a pen that the calves could be loaded in and winched up via a starter motor.
