“IT’S THE CONSISTENT QUALITY OF ANCALF THAT GIVES US CONFIDENCE.” JAMES EMMETT, J&C DAIRY PARTNERSHIP, GERALDINE.
ANCALF™ THE WORD ON THE FARM
Every bag tested, every bag true.
James feeds his calves Ancalf to start with because of the coccidiostat and the nutrients and once they get up to proper weight, close to weaning time, he puts them on Ancalf Finisher. Any weaker calves quickly flourish and James reckons his calves put on around 10 kilos at every weigh in and manages a 10-12 week rearing stage.
“When our calves go out onto pasture, they’re still being fed CMR. The vitamins, minerals and proteins in Ancalf helps their development and well-being which in the long run ensures they reach their full potential as a heifer and cow.” Low fertility in South Canterbury and the wider Canterbury area seems to be an issue and according to James, one theory is that it could be a result of poor calf rearing systems in the past. Producing healthy replacements, giving calves the best start in life with a premium CMR is vital so they can become contributing and productive animals in the herd.

“Our whole farming system is based around using quality products for quality results and you can cheat yourself on one area and cost yourself and another, so it’s not really worth compromising to be honest.”
He knows Ancalf is not just good quality protein, but provides milk fat a good source of Butyrate for rumen development.
