All of ours calves are fed by their mothers in the paddock until they are old enough to join other calves in a calf paddock with access to a shed for feeding and shelter.

I’m so pleased that you don’t separate the calves from their mothers. I was reading that industrial style dairies separate the babies 24hrs after birth and others just weeks after birth.
With animal kindness becoming a larger part of human consciousness, I commend your efforts. I also feel you should capitalise on this fact, I have many family and friends who will be comforted to know there are more humane options when choosing dairy products.
Thank you Mungalli!
