Dairy Cows

Dairy cattle also called dairy cows are cattle cows bred for the ability to produce large quantities of milk, from which dairy products are made. Dairy cows generally are of the species Bos taurus. Caversham dairy cattle is giving a lot of milk

Historically, there was little distinction between dairy cattle and beef cattle, with the same stock often being used for both meat and milk production. Today, the bovine industry is more specialized and most dairy cattle have been bred to produce large volumes of milk.

Feeding the Lamb

For the first 24 hours after receiving the colostrum, lambs should be fed 140 millilitres every four hours. After this, feed your lamb 200 millilitres four times a day. Your lamb should still be fed about every four hours. Keep track of what times you feed your lamb and make sure to get a feeding in at the proper intervals.

Hold the lamb’s head up, allowing her to stand, and let her feed. Once you have the milk measured and prepared, you can feed your lamb.

Lambs should feed standing up. Do not cuddle or hold your lamb while bottle feeding as this could result in a clot in her lung.
Most lambs will suckle instinctively. If your lamb is not suckling, pressing the bottle’s nipple against her lips should encourage her to feed.

Caversham Wildlife Park introduces visitors to the unique selection of wildlife in Western Australia, from iconic native species to farm animals and rich bird life.

About Caversham Wildlife Park

David and Pat own and operate Caversham Wildlife Park with their son David & daughter Debbie.
When they purchased the park in 1988, the park housed a small collection of animals and birds on a modest 5 acre (2ha) property. A few years later, the park doubled in size, when the family purchased the adjoining property and the collection started to boom. In May 2003, the family designed and built a new park in Whiteman Park, once again, more than doubling in size.
