Beyond Weaning: Strategies for Thriving Calves Through Summer – LIVE Webinar

Tuesday 2 December – 

This SealesWinslow webinar will focus on  locking in the benefits of well-executed calf rearing, and strategies for managing common summer challenges – with the aim of maximising profitability and setting animals up for long-term success.

Following weaning, growth rates often decline significantly from months 6 – 12 due to seasonal  challenges such as heat stress, facial eczema, feed quality, and mineral imbalances. Now is the ideal time to address these concerns and discuss how to maintain growth and achieve mating weight targets.

We’ll explore practical solutions for managing calves post-weaning, ensuring they thrive on pasture during summer, and preventing common setbacks.

Topics will include: 

  • Heat stress
  • Trace element management
  • Facial eczema prevention
  • Best practices for young stock care during summer
  • Broader considerations for livestock health, including dairy and beef cattle

This session builds on previous calf-rearing discussions and offers actionable insights for farmers looking to optimise performance through the critical summer period.
