Improve next season’s production with these smart autumn moves | Ep. 120
Q: How do you approach setting targets for different cow groups?
Identify each cow group's current BCS, divide into lactation groups (e.g., lactation 1-2 vs mature cows), and set specific targets (5.5 for younger cows, 5 for mature cows) while aiming to keep most cows near those targets.
Improve next season’s production with these smart autumn moves | Ep. 120
Q: What are the main reasons body condition score targets before calving are crucial?
BCS targets set cows up to recover from calving stress and influence outcomes after calving and at mating, shaping overall reproductive performance and next season productivity.
