The newborn calf represents the highest genetic potential for milk production on a well-managed farm. Therefore, the care given in raising this animal should be consistent with its high value. A variety of methods and facilities can be used to raise a replacement dairy animal. Facilities can be old structures or new facilities, elaborate or simple. However, they must provide a management and housing system that allows the dairyman to consistently produce healthy replacement animals on a year-round basis.
