DCHA updates its ‘Gold Standards’

In early May, the Dairy Calf & Heifer Association (DCHA) released its revised Gold Standards ­– the industry benchmarks and best management practices for raising dairy calves and heifers, and beef x dairy animals. These standards guide dairy calf, beef x dairy and heifer raisers in growing the healthiest and most efficient and profitable dairy/beef x dairy animals possible.

The overarching goal of DCHA’s Gold Standards is to improve the health and welfare of youngstock, allowing them to achieve their genetic potential, while helping producers improve the profitability and sustainability of their businesses.
