The parlour training of your in-calf heifers, is a job that can begin over the coming days and weeks on dairy farms.
Now that your in-calf heifers are housed, there are a number of jobs that can be completed with them over the next few weeks.
While most spring-calving herds are winding down production for the year, it is always a good idea to now start parlour training heifers.
Most farms have now housed the majority, if not all of their animals, including their maiden and in-calf heifers.
The milking production season has ended on many spring-calving dairy farms for 2021, now is a good opportunity to being parlour training.
Weighing heifers, treating parasites and parlour training are all jobs that can be completed in the coming days and weeks with heifers.
