"DeLaval calf feeders are more consistent than people."
Located in California's central valley, MaxGro Inc., is owned and managed by Eldred Pires, Joseph Borba and Johnny Machado. The 5,500-head milking herd stems from three different farms owned by MaxGro owners. Pires cows are milked in a DeLaval rotary and Machado milks in a DeLaval double-20 parallel parlor, both built in 2007. Ten years later, Pires, Borba and Machado launched MaxGro Heifer Facility in Modesto, California, located a few miles from the dairies. The calves at MaxGro are fed via one of 16 CF1000S DeLaval automated calf feeders and are housed in a cross-ventilated barn.
