Hi everybody, my name is Maxine, I’m a sophomore animal and veterinary science major with a pre-vet focus. This Thanksgiving we welcomed two new calves to the barn, Dolly and Diffuse. Dolly entered the world late Wednesday night and Diffuse was born Friday evening. They are adjusting well and becoming more and more playful as the days go by. Their favorite time is feeding time when they get their milk replacer. MR is very important to give to calves under the age of 6 weeks because it provides the right amount of protein that the newborns are in need of, as well as crude fat. This fat gives the calves their playful energy. It’s a much better choice than waste milk because of the consistency in the amount of protein and crude fat unlike waste milk which is always changing depending who is being milked last or on bucket milk. So come on by and see the newest additions to our farm!!!
