Bottle-fed and fostered calves can be a record-keeping challenge!
Foster and bottle-fed calves might grow up to be keepers or culls. Record births and fostering as they happen in the calving shed - avoid losing critical pedigree information at your busiest time!
Why record fostering?
Record fostering:
- to preserve pedigree information for the calf
- to credit birth dams for number of calves born
- to credit foster dams for raising more calves.
Use a fostering report:
- to look up birth and foster dams
- group fostered calves for management reasons
- to identify problem animals or genetic lines.
