Non-Replacement Calves Resources



Non-replacement (or bobby) calves are born on dairy farms and will not be required as milking cows in the future. Dairy Australia has developed resources that support farmers in choosing alternative pathways for their viable non-replacement calves.

For the latest information, refer to the Dairy Calf Market Pathways Trends report or access the range of resources below for support on the available pathways and care of non-replacement calves.
