𝗔𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗳 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽! 🐮👏
Last Thursday we had another fantastic calf rearing workshop in Maryport, Cumbria, and what a great day it was!
First of all, we’d like to say a huge 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂 to 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗮𝘆, 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝘃𝗲, 𝗞𝗲𝗹𝘀𝗲𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗞𝗮𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗥𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲 for so generously opening your farm to everyone. We know it takes a lot of time and effort to host an event like this, and we truly appreciate your hospitality.
A very special thank you also goes to 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗮𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝘂𝗺, who treated everyone to an amazing lunch. It was absolutely delicious and very much appreciated by everyone! ❤️
Throughout the day we explored:
🐄 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗳 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘀
💩 𝗡𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿
🦠 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿
Understanding these signals early helps farmers make better decisions and prevent small issues from becoming major problems.
We were also delighted to welcome 𝗝𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 aspatriafarmersltd, who gave a short introduction to the 𝗝𝗙𝗖 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗳 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗿 and explained how this technology can help farmers achieve more consistent calf management.
To round off the afternoon, we carried out a 𝗦𝗺𝗼𝗸𝗲 𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁 in the calf shed to assess the ventilation. Especially during periods of hot weather, good airflow is one of the most important factors in maintaining healthy calves and reducing disease pressure.
Days like these remind us how valuable it is when farmers come together to share ideas, ask questions and learn from one another. A big thank you to everyone who attended. We hope you enjoyed the day as much as we did!
📸 If you were there, feel free to tag yourself in the photos and share your favourite moment from the day in the comments. We’d love to hear your thoughts!
We can’t wait to see you at our next workshop! 🐄🌱

Hot weather can be tough on calves.
Heat stress does not always start with dramatic signs. Often, it begins quietly: calves eat less, drink more, lie down more and start breathing faster than normal. 🥵
During warm weather, calves can reduce their 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗯𝘆 𝘂𝗽 𝘁𝗼 𝟮𝟬%. That means less energy for growth, immunity and overall performance.
In more serious cases, you may notice 𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗶𝗱 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 or even 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻-𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 — a clear sign that the calf is really struggling.
Small management changes can make a big difference. 🤌🏻
🥛💧 𝗪𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗥 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗙𝗘𝗘𝗗𝗜𝗡𝗚
🔅 Make sure calves always have access to 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻, 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿
🔅 Feed during the 𝗰𝗼𝗼𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘆, early morning or late evening
🔅 Offer dry feed later in the day, so digestion heat is produced during the cooler night hours
🔅 Check feed daily and remove anything that is stale, warm or spoiled
🔅 Clean water buckets regularly, especially during hot weather
🔅 Consider giving extra water with 𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹𝘆𝘁𝗲𝘀 in the afternoon
🔅 Avoid refreshing water straight after milk feeding, as calves may drink too much too quickly
🏠🌬️ 𝗛𝗢𝗨𝗦𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗧
🔅 Keep calves in the 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗱𝗲 where possible
🔅 Allow enough 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 between calves to reduce heat build-up
🔅 Make sure there is plenty of 𝗮𝗶𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 and good ventilation
🔅 Keep bedding dry, clean and comfortable
🔅 During very hot periods, consider using 𝘀𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗮𝘄𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁 instead of deep straw
🔅 Start 𝗳𝗹𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 early, as flies add extra stress
🔅 On very hot days, cooling the roof of calf housing with cold water can help reduce heat inside
Heat stress can affect calves long after the hot day has passed. Supporting them early helps protect 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵, 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲. 🐮💧
