Herd health and management
The Midnight Milkers herd has once again tested clean for CAE for 2025! All buyers will receive a copy of test results.
Here at Midnight Milkers we provide the highest level of feed and care we can. We have very few problems with parasites and have an easy time keeping our ladies in tip top shape! Vaccinations, health testing and vet checks are done on a strict schedule to make sure our herd is the healthiest it can be. We work very closely with our veterinary team to make sure we are providing the very best care possible.
First and foremost we provide 24/7 access to fresh, clean water and 3rd cut dairy quality alfalfa. We also provide a high quality free choice loose mineral!
Kids are pulled from birth and bottle fed a hybrid of maternal colostrum and commercially available colostrum for the first 24 hours. Kids receive a dose of Selenium/Vitamin E and TriShield to give them the best start we can. At 2 weeks, all kids are started on Kalmbach kid grain and free choice hay!
Since we are a show herd, we vaccinate for two different types of pneumonia and mastitis in addition to CDT. We also provide copper and BOSE to the herd.
When considering the health of our herd, no expense is spared. We are firm believers in the power of proper vaccination and use antibiotics and hormones under supervision from our vet. We are still learning and always trying to improve our practices! Let us know if you have any questions and we would be happy to share more in depth.
