Colostrum is king!
Calves need 150-200g IgG in the first feed to increase the chance of successful passive transfer.
Feed 10% of body weight (3-4L).
Make sure you and feeding/collecting equipment are clean.
Feed ASAP after birth, but definitely within 6 hours.

Heatguard supplied to Andrew Henning in Markethill for his cracking new calf shed. Its good to see from a height, Heatguard sheet allows the shed to fill with natural daylight, keeping radiating heat from direct sunlight out during the hotter months. Well wear Andrew.

In this experiment Dr Rob Thompson of @UniRdg_Met shows just how long it takes water to soak into parched ground, illustrating why heavy rainfall after a #drought can be dangerous and might lead to flashfloods.
