What a lovely evening we had yesterday speaking to the 𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗗𝗮𝗶𝗿𝘆 𝗦𝗵𝗿𝗼𝗽𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗲 group! 🌟🐄

We were invited to host a discussion on 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗮 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗳 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗸 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗲𝗹 properly, and as it turned out, there is a lot more to a bag of milk powder than just a nice picture on the front 👀

We looked at things like 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗶𝗻, 𝗳𝗮𝘁, 𝗿𝗮𝘄 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹𝘀 and overall quality. We spoke about the difference between 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗸 and 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝘆, 𝗱𝗮𝗶𝗿𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗶𝗻𝘀 versus 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗶𝗻𝘀, and the various fat sources used in milk powders, from 𝗰𝗼𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘂𝘁 and 𝗽𝗮𝗹𝗺 to 𝘀𝗼𝘆𝗮 and 𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗱.

There is a huge difference in raw materials across the market, and very often that comes down to 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗲. But the real question is not simply what costs less, it is whether the product is the 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗳𝗶𝘁 for the type of calf and the result you want to achieve. A beef calf and a heifer calf do not have exactly the same purpose, so they should not always be looked at in the same way either. 🐮

It was a really enjoyable evening with lots of interaction, good questions, great food and a lovely group of 15 ladies. 🍽️✨ From calf performance and growth rates to milk powder formulation and ingredient choice, there was plenty to discuss throughout the evening 😄

A big thank you to 𝗘𝗿𝗶𝗻 and 𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗗𝗮𝗶𝗿𝘆 𝗦𝗵𝗿𝗼𝗽𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗲 for inviting us. We thoroughly enjoyed it and it is definitely something we would love to do again. 🙌

If your group would be interested in a 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽 or 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, please feel free to get in touch with the office. 📞 01889-256001

We hope everyone went home with a few useful thoughts, a full stomach and a goodie bag in hand 🎁😊 ... See MoreSee Less
