Neglected Dairy Sire Undermines Herd Potential
Dairy sirs are often the least cared for on farms, harming herd production. Poor handling due to nervous temperament and safety fears leads to inadequate feeding, exercise, and stall care. Proper ration includes corn meal, bran, oats, soy, legume hay, and limited silage with ample water. Provide light stalls and paddocks or tethered exercise to maintain vigor and reduce injury risk.
