Legacy Natural -Dairy & Calf Ranch
Includes SAV and NHTC
Legacy Natural - Dairy includes NHTC and SAV and is added at virtually no additional cost, but it has massive premium potential.
Requirements
-
Cattle may never receive antibiotics, certain antimicrobials, animal by-products, ionophores, beta agonists, or hormones. Colostrum, Milk and Milk By-Products, and Coccidiostats are allowed.
-
If some cattle get any of the above, they must be identified in a way which clearly indicates they no longer qualify for Legacy Natural - Dairy.
-
Calves can receive unlimited colostrum and milk replacement.
-
All Legacy Natural - Dairy cattle must go through approved PVP Natural locations to maintain their certification.
Legacy Natural - Dairy cattle also are eligible for our China Verified Program
Overview
Since 2020, some of the highest and steadiest premiums have been for PVP Verified Natural Cattle.
Rather than making you jump through a bunch of unrealistic hoops, the Legacy Natural - Dairy program is designed from a producers’ perspective while still giving you access to the natural designation.
This program is in addition to the NHTC and SAV programs. Similar to NHTC, you can’t administer hormones, beta-agonists, or certain antimicrobials, but antibiotics, animal by-products, and ionophores are also prohibited. (Colostrum, Milk and Milk By-Products, and Coccidiostats are allowed.)
Of course, we know that you’re going to treat sick animals, so the program just requires that those few head that you treat, are identified and recorded so that they can be sorted from conforming animals. They will still qualify for NHTC and SAV but will not be Legacy Natural - Dairy.
*Vaccines are allowed in all programs.
