This Makes my Life Easier: Expandable Folder
Posted on March 25, 2020 in Starting Strong - Calf Care
Using an expandable folder that is prepacked with everything needed to process newborn calves has made life easier for the team at Birchen Farms Inc.
The team at Birchen Farms Inc. in Pearl City, Illinois, uses this expandable folder that’s prepacked with everything needed to process newborn calves. Each section holds a zippered plastic bag so an employee can pull one bag and go to work rather than collect supplies from multiple spots.
Included in each bag:
- Calf card: The employee uses this to write all the information about the calf, birth, and colostrum and vaccination administration.
- Ear tag and button: These are arranged in numerical order in the folder so calves are properly identified.
- Proper Inforce® 3 dose with cannula, syringe and needle.
Jen Birchen, the farm’s youngstock manager, said, “If you make it simple, it happens!”
