Livestock
Beef cattle, sheep and goats are well suited to North Country farms and families due to the abundance of grass for hay and pasture, a cool weather growing season and ease of access to quality water. Livestock numbers have increased over 14% in the past 10 years suggesting they are occupying some of those farms that aren't as suitable to the intensive cropping required by modern dairies. Northern New York Livestock producers work together along with Cornell Cooperative Extension to improve their management and market their products locally and statewide. LIVESTOCK CATEGORIES

Colostrum and Calf Productivity in our Cow/Calf Operations

In the dairy world monitoring newborn calves for Ig (immunoglobulins or antibodies) absorption from colostrum is very common. Calves that do not receive adequate levels of Ig from colostrum can experience increased sickness and mortality. It has also been researched that Ig absorption from colostrum is crucial to being a healthier adult with enhanced feed efficiency and milk production. It is reasonable to assume the same holds true for beef cattle.

In November 2015 we had Mark Miller, Quality Control Manager for Cargill Meat Solutions in Wyalusing PA speak at our Beef Week meetings in Northern New York. We held a session in the afternoon for dairy farmers as well. Mr. Miller turned out to be a very interesting and candid speaker. Our beef group stayed and talked to him until 11:00 PM! In the end, we decided we should visit the plant for a tour. One year later…
