“The Farmer Expo day has been very, very good; very informative. We have listened to lots of the talks, got a good insight on different milk powders and information on how the heat treat the milk powder when they produce them and the difference in how it sticks together in the calves’ gut. We've been trying to improve the calf health and so we will investigate that a little bit further I think when we buy the next lot of note powder.”
