Contract Heifer Rearing - Farming Note

Contract heifer rearing involves setting up an agreement with another farmer to rear your heifers rather than doing it yourself. This:

Frees up time and capital
Provides an opportunity to concentrate on the dairy herd which is earning you money
Offers the potential to expand whilst ensuring your heifers are properly reared

But: Runs the risk of heifers getting caught up in TB shutdowns and spreading of diseases

The Contract Heifer Rearing Farming Note will help you decide if its right for you and includes a checklist of items to include in a contract.
