Noel hits the snowy roads of Ontario, Canada, in the latest episode of Talk Cow, Not Bull. His destination? Davenport Farm, just outside Owen Sound—a region where winter weather is as challenging as it is beautiful.
On this visit, we dive into calf management innovations like the AgriPlastics Supreme Buddy Hutch, feeding system adaptations, and why efficiency doesn’t have to mean compromise in calf health or welfare.
The conversation with David and Keith Davenport reveals how practical solutions and incremental changes can improve operations for both dairy and beef systems. From weaning strategies to biosecurity practices and feeding system tweaks, this farm has found a way to keep calf rearing both practical and productive.
“It’s great when farmers open their doors and share their story. We don’t just talk cows—we share ideas that can inspire farms everywhere.” – Noel
