Calf Care

Calf Care Overview

The team at CP Feeds is focused on the health and vitality of your calves. In 2004, CP Feeds added a separate production line dedicated to calf feed only, to prevent even the possibility of cross-contamination with feed for milking cows. Our calf feed mixer also contains special screens that remove excessive fines, so every bag of feed is consistent.

We also have a dedicated calf and heifer care specialist whose job it is to provide the best advice possible regarding calf health, nutrition and best management practices. You may reach her directly by calling Amanda Smith at 920-905-3688.

Land O’Lakes® Cow’s Match® Protein Blend

Whey protein has become one of the dairy industry’s most valuable products, and with increased demand for whey protein as a high-quality protein for human consumption, calf milk replacers must compete for a share of the ingredients, increasing costs.
 To address this challenge, Land O’Lakes Animal Milk Products Company made it a research priority to develop calf milk replacer formulations featuring a blend of proteins that save investment cost without sacrificing calf performance. The Protein Blend product comes in WarmFront (28:10) and ColdFront (27:20) variations.
