In this episode, we’re talking about simple, practical ways to help your cull cows travel well. Dr. Stacey Hendriks and Penny Timmer-Arends share three key things that make a big difference. They also explain what happens beyond the farm gate and why good preparation matters. 

Transport can be tough on cows, but with a few easy steps, you can help them arrive in good shape. Tune in to hear what farmers are already doing and pick up some practical tips to make transport easier on your cows.
