Timely Culling to Increase Profitability

July 14, 2016


Looking for more revenue in this down milk economy? Making sure you're getting the most out of cull cows when you send them to the sale barn can help. We've put together a group of speakers to talk about timely culling for cows, from a local veterinarian's perspective to a state veterinarian's experiences, to the local sale barn manager's knowledge. 

Speakers: Dr Art Sherman, NYSCHAP
Dr Laura Rath-Brown, MidState Veterinary Services
Ms Danielle Cornelius, Empire Livestock

Topics: Culling cows in a timely and profitable manner, Johne's disease
Local veterinarian perspective on how to choose cows for culling
Sale barn perspective on what makes a cull cow profitable
