Contentious issues in calf rearing include milk feeding practices and single versus group housing. The current study was performed on a high producing 170 Holstein cow dairy farm, to investigate the impact of nutrition housing growth reproduction. Heifer calves (n = 100) were allocated birth order one two commonly used management strategies. All received 3–4 litres dam specific colostrum within 6 hours birth.
