The Arrival of New Calves to the Feedlot

Taking care of calves the proper way in the first stages of their life is very crucial to their health. Here at Valley View Farms we get our calves at nine weeks old and we raise and breed them for our dairy farms. The first thing we do is haul the calves from Pipestone MN to our farm. We then treat the calves and put their second ear-tag in them. After that we place them into the pens they belong in, place new bedding down for them and then feed them. It can be a very easy process but difficult at times depending on weather conditions here in South Dakota.
