"Before feeding the starter with AMPLI-Calf® Technology, it usually was a challenge to get the calves to start eating any type of calf starter. Our calves love the texture and taste of the starter. There's no sifting. The calves are quicker to drink water after eating the starter and the starter bucket is always licked clean by feeding time again. Our new calves are extremely aggressive and seem to continue to grow" - Katie Agnew, Mapleton Valley Farms

Ryan Griffin, Kara-Kesh Holsteins
Thief River Falls, MN

"I switched to feeding a calf starter with AMPLI-Calf® Technology last fall and it was definitely worth it! My calves have more aggressive appetites and are noticeably taller and longer. Health-wise, I've seen fewer instances of scouring and pneumonia, given the changing weather. For these reasons, I encourage other calf raisers to try calf starters with AMPLI-Calf® Technology." - Ryan Griffin, Kara-Kesh Holsteins

"I've been feeding a calf starter with AMPLI-Calf® Technology for just over one year and I'm a firm believer in the benefits of this feed. My calves have more aggressive appetites, and by six months of age, they are much taller and longer. I encourage other calf raisers to try calf starter with AMPLI-Calf® Technology because they will definitely notice a growth difference in their calves." - Roger Riebe, Meadow Ridge Jerseys

"I've been feeding my calves starter with AMPLI-Calf® Technology for two years and I'm very pleased with the results. I've found that it's more palatable to the calves and because of this they eat more of it and grow better." - Tim Busch, Grand-View Ayrshires

Julie Orchard, Gurn-Z Meadow Farm
Janesville, WI

"I've been feeding calf starter with AMPLI-Calf® Technology since January and I've notices that the calves eat more feed at a younger age than with my previous calf starter. The calves are tall, very dairy and have nice frames. Weaning calves is easy, as they are consuming at least three pounds of starter by six weeks of age." - Julie Orchard, Gurn-Z Meadow Farm

 

 

Jo-Dee Swiss
Jo-Dee Denmark Nookie
Jodi Coppini, Jo-Dee Swiss
Tillamook, OR

"Our calves fed calf starter with AMPLI-Calf® Technology consistently gained more weight, even after being weaned. We notice a sizeable difference in the height and length of our calves." - Jodi Coppini, Jo-Dee Swiss

Stan-Mar-Dale
Express-SMD Last Chance
Jeremy Adams, Stan-Mar-Dale/Express Holsteins
Urbana, OH

"We started feeding starter with AMPLI-Calf® Technology about a year ago and have definitely seen a difference in how fast calves get started on it. They consume a large volume of feed and our heifers look the best they have in awhile. We normally focus on showing cows, but the heifers looked so good this year that we took several of them to the Mid-East Summer National and had the winning Junior Best Three Females. We're confident in the performance of our calves fed AMPLI-Calf® Technology and have encouraged others to try it." - Jeremy Adams, Stan-Mar-Dale/Express Holsteins

 

 

Sunrise Farm
Sunrise Champ Penelope
Ashley Bridges, Sunrise Farm
Shelby, N.C.

"Penelope was the first calf that we fed starter with AMPLI-Calf® Technology. She stood out from the other calves because of her increased appetite and stature. At weaning age, she was nearly two inches taller and had a much shinier hair coat than the other calves." - Ashley Bridges, Sunrise Farm
