Handling and Management
It’s important that dairy farmers are aware of the needs of their cattle. These needs encompass their health and welfare, transportation and shelter, all of which are necessary for a healthy and productive herd.
The management of the dairy farm is also integral to the dairy enterprise’s success, which includes the equipment, the design of your farm and the pastures and drainage.
