Calf scours can happen to even the best farmers.
And the financial and emotional costs can be significant and long lasting. Anyone who's lived through a scours outbreak never wants to experience another! That's why we've invited members of the Dairy Women's Network to share their scours stories for the benefit of all dairy women in New Zealand.
Got a scours story to share that could benefit other dairy women? Call Sarah Holmwood on (04) 439 1870 or 027 489 2893. Or email Sarah.
