Storm Ciara has hit Ireland. Temperatures have plummeted, and snowmen are popping up around the countryside. No matter where in the world you might be having a snow day, looking after calves properly in a winter wonderland will ensure growth rates do not decline.

The AgCredible Academy – a joint initiative between Alltech Ireland and Agri Aware – was launched last Friday, February 7, to encourage Irish farmers to put out their experiences of farming life to give a true depiction of farming in an ever-changing landscape.

Proper management and well-balanced nutrition of the dry cow is critical to obtaining maximum dry matter intake, good health, increased reproductive efficiency and optimum milk production in the following lactation.

There is much discussion among dairy farmers about low butterfat levels in milk. A decline in butterfat percentages can be common during spring months, when cows are grazing lush grass that is low in fibre and high in oil and sugars — but for some herds, this issue can continue into the summer.
We must remember that our milk payment system is focused on kilograms of butterfat (BF) and protein. This is a function of milk yield and solids percentage. Our task is to maximise all of these and get the cow back on calf while keeping an eye on total cost.

With an unexpected delayed start to grazing this season, spring rotation planners had to be abandoned on many farms. The target of grazing 30% of the platform by the end of February did not happen on even the driest of farms. As a result, cows ended up being housed for longer, which has reduced the number of days at grass by 15 to 20. This loss means that most farms will lose a rotation this year…
