This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Healthy Calf Conference (HCC). For two decades, we’ve brought together dairy, veal and dairy-beef calf raisers to a single event dedicated to boosting calf health – which in turn means healthier animals, lower production costs and higher market prices.
We know producers are busy people, looking for practical information that will make a difference in the barn. And that’s what the HCC has always delivered. Our focus is on actionable information grounded in science that anyone raising calves can take home and start implementing right away.
The HCC will be hosted by Veal Farmers of Ontario on Wednesday, November 20, 2024, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. ET at the Arden Park Hotel in Stratford, Ontario, Canada.
This year’s event, available both in-person and online, offers every participant:

Twenty years ago, various research studies and what we were hearing from frustrated producers showed us that calf health in North America wasn’t going in the right direction – and it was time to make a change. We began bringing together experts with this conference, we developed the calfcare.ca website and popular Calf Care Corner e-newsletter, and eventually also added social media channels to help get the word out. Today, we’ve seen a vast improvement in calf mortality and serum total protein levels, proving that what we’re doing is working.
We hope you can join us at Ontario’s premier calf event!
