Resilient cows start before calving. Good body condition, clean bedding and steady grazing rotation keep cows strong through winter and into the next lactation. Organic rules mean you treat problems early, through feeding and management, rather than reaching for a quick fix once a cow is already down.

We stock the minerals, bedding and feed supplements that help keep a herd steady through the season.

Resilience starts with good feeding

A cow that calves in good condition has a head start on the whole season. Minerals matter as much as bulk feed. Keep feed quality consistent, check troughs daily, and watch for the early signs of stress before they become a vet visit. Small daily habits do more for a herd than any single treatment ever will.

You made all the required mock ups for commissioned layout, got all the approvals, built a tested code base or had them built, you decided on a content management system, got a license for it or adapted open source software for your client’s needs. Then the question arises: where’s the content? Not there yet? That’s not so bad, there’s dummy copy to the rescue. But worse, what if the fish doesn’t fit in the can, the foot’s to big for the boot? Or to small? To short sentences, to many headings, images too large for the proposed design, or too small, or they fit in but it looks iffy for reasons the folks in the meeting can’t quite tell right now, but they’re unhappy, somehow. A client that’s unhappy for a reason is a problem, a client that’s unhappy though he or her can’t quite put a finger on it is worse.
