Our early spring issue is packed with articles on all aspects of rearing heifer replacements and beef-cross calves, from reiterating the key colostrum-feeding protocols that must be followed for successful passive transfer of protective antibodies, through to the importance of monitoring health and growth performance and hitting milestone targets.

And, of course, we look at what producers can and are doing to mitigate the impact of dairying on the environment.
