Fonterra Names Four Independently Assessed Director Candidates
Fonterra Co-operative Group has confirmed the independently assessed candidates standing for election to its board in 2026.
Calf rearers are reporting a shortage of the co-op’s Ancalf powder; the co-op is reporting unusually high calf numbers this season -- nearly double those of last year. The problem, it seems, is higher numbers of beef calves being reared -- better than milking calves because of the lower milk payout. The shortage is expected to persist for a few weeks, prompting suggested alternatives such as Brown Bag product, early weaning and shifting calves onto meal.
