The Calf Club

Who are we?

We’re a team of calf rearing experts offering private buyers a wide selection of quality calves for sale to stock and enhance their own beef businesses.

Leaning on the Buitelaar supply chain, our calves are sourced from Buitelaar approved and monitored dairy farms, assessed on their standards of early-stage calf rearing, use of genetics, health recording and calf housing choices.

If you are looking for quality rearing calves, our Collection Centres operate every Monday, including bank holidays and will likely fulfil your requirements. We have the added advantage of a hassle-free buying system, where calves can be delivered direct to farm. Alternatively, many of our customers visit our Collection Centres to see our higher welfare standards, consistent calf quality and collection systems for themselves. Meeting our experienced and laugh-a-minute team is also considered a perk to the trip!

Calves are selected in even batches to meet our customer requirements and to simplify calf management throughout the rearing process.

Thank you so much The Calf Club. Our first experience of buying our own calves was made so much easier with the help & advice from The Calf Club team! They picked our heifers perfectly as we couldn’t get down to see them we had to trust their judgement and we weren’t disappointed they are perfect, I’m sure we will be purchasing many more.

Our Data Driven Approach

Associated with the UK’s largest integrated beef supply chain, naturally, we rely heavily on the extensive lifecycle data collected from colostrum of the fresh rearing calf right through to kill weights, lung scores and meat quality grades returned after

processing. This enables us to track patterns and trends associated with individual dairy farms and work selectively with farmers who supply superior youngstock.

 

Dedicated Calf Collection Centres

Our four Farm Assured Calf Collection Centres operate in strategically placed locations down the West of the UK. Every Monday, we collect between 800-1,500 calves of a wide variety of breeds to suit a range of independent rearers and beef producer operations nationwide.

The calves for sale are bedded on deep straw in clean, spacious pens with ventilation and access to fresh drinking water. All of our Centres run under 24-hour surveillance, offering complete transparency to Buitelaar’s industry retailers and partners.
