Taking a cue from the dairy industry, Dairy Women’s Network has decided to curtail its next annual conference, at a time when the industry and its members are hurting.

Dairy Women's Network (DWN) will focus on networking and social events to support its 7600 members through the tough season, says chief executive Zelda de Villiers.

Dairy Women's Network (DWN) is a “bottom up” organisation helping women develop skills for community leadership and career development, says chief executive Zelda de Villiers.

Dairy Women’s Network (DWN) say member feedback on their latest professional development offering has shown some impressive results.

It was the call of the land that saw Dairy Women's Network's newest staff member pack up her family from living the city life and head back to the family's 830-cow dairy farm.

The women who have attended DWN calf nutrition workshops over the past three months have walked away with a little added extra this year.

Wiht tight budgets this year, inexpensive improvements can be made to improve calf housing and conditions, says SealesWinslow nutrition and quality assurance manager, Wendy Morgan. 

Adding yoghurt to colostrum gives it longevity and stops it from separating, says SealesWinslow nutrition and quality assurance manager Wendy Morgan.

The main message in calf rearing is to keep things simple, do those things well and pay attention to detail, says Wendy Morgan, Seales Winslow nutrition and quality assurance manager.

With calving time approaching, SealesWinslow has teamed up with the Dairy Women’s Network and celebrity chef Michael Van de Elzen to ensure both calves and carers get the best nutrition.
