Farms host tours to show grant project work

Project focused on cow comfort, calf care, and transition cow facilities

 

Riverside Dairy of Cincinnatus, New York and Grimshaw Dairy of Adams, New York are two of the fifteen farms involved with a NY Farm Viability grant project over the past year focusing on cow comfort, calf care, and transition cow

facilities. Both farms are proud to host tours where CCE Dairy Specialists will go over results and benchmarks from assessments of these areas from all 15 farms involved in the study. The farms will share areas they have worked to improve on their dairies- relating to calf barn facilities and management, as well as give a farm tour and answer questions about their value-added operation.  The tour is free to all participants, but registration is required.
