Hemdale Farms is proud to host a farm tour focusing on cow comfort and transition cow facilities as it relates to a NY Farm Viability Institute grant project over the last two years. CCE Regional Dairy Specialists will go over results and benchmarks from assessments of these areas from all 15 farms involved in the study, and Hemdale will share areas they've worked to improve related to fresh and transition cow comfort, as well as give a farm tour and answer questions about their robotic operation.
The tour is FREE to all participants, but registration is required.
