We keep all calves of a similar age together in small groups until they are fully weaned and eating well. We then move them from their baby pens to a straw yard where they live with other animals of a similar size.
As they continue to grow and prosper they are moved to a larger shed which is partly straw bedding and partly concrete flooring so that their feet do not become too overgrown. At this stage they are fed with our home produced , specially formulated ration that ensure that their nutritional needs are fully met.
