We’ve been using the 20% Calf Range for seven seasons.....

“We’ve been using the 20% Calf Range for seven seasons because the product is good, there are no fillers as such, and the calves do really well on it. The calves are growing at 1kg a day. We’ve had people offer us cheaper products, but we have open communication with Advanced Feeds, and they have been respectful of our loyalty. That’s why I stay with them. They are also local, and I can pick it up easily.” – Wayne Campbell, Methven Farm, milking 800 cows, rearing 200 replacements and Friesian bulls annually (Ashburton).

Advanced feed always has the pellets ready when I put the order in, they are a local business, and they’re great to deal with

“We ventured away from something cheap and cheerful, and paid a little more for the 20% calf range and it’s bloody amazing, to be fair. We wondered if it might be a battle to switch the calves from muesli to the pellets, but after a couple of days they took to it like catnip. We couldn’t believe how well the calves did on it, and it’s nice to know they get every bit of nutrition from the pellet because they can’t sort through it selectively.”

“We weaned a whole three weeks earlier. We take our calves off milk once they are weigh 75kg, and at 100kg, they are on the truck and gone. There were also no setbacks when we weaned. Advanced feed always has the pellets ready when I put the order in, they are a local business, and they’re great to deal with.”

– Bella Oates rears 300 calves a year, Ashburton.
