ROTATIONAL GRAZING OF CALVES Over 9 years at the Department of Agriculture's Ruakura Animal Research Station well-reared heifers have out-produced their poorly reared mates by an average of 15lb of butterfat in the first lactation when both were well fed after calving. Frequent changes to good, clean pasture are essential if calves are to be successfully reared. This rotational grazing eliminates deaths in winter and the need for drenching against worms and produces yearlings 100lb heavier than those kept in the one paddock for weeks at a time. Further information on correct rearing of dairy stock is contained in Department of Agriculture Bulletin No. 228; “Good Rearing of Dairy Stock”. This is available free from offices of the Department. * * *
