When an operation has a culture of care, everyone from CEO to calf raiser understands how and why to provide exceptional animal care, 24 hours a day and 365 days a year. That translates to greater job satisfaction, reduced worker stress, less absenteeism, lower employee turnover and fewer accidents – all valuable outcomes in these times of labor shortages.  

Our industry responsibility is to ensure the welfare and safety of our animals at all life stages. Evaluating fitness to transport – the animal’s ability to withstand transportation without compromising its welfare – is an important piece of that.
