    Managing calves can be a challenge, especially when you’re dealing with the up and down temperatures we’ve had this winter. But getting calves off to a good start can make all the difference in the future productivity of your herd. In this episode of Cow-Side Conversations, Caroline Zimmerman of Dry Creek Farm in Blair County, Pennsylvania describes some innovative approaches her team takes to prioritize calf care and manage their youngstock. She shares her experience working closely with her veterinarian to ultrasound calf lungs and stay on top of pneumonia and other illnesses. She also talks about how they are using sexed semen to manage their heifer inventories, the transition they made to group housing and auto feeders, and the recent steps they’ve taken to breed beef on dairy.
