It will cover the physiology of calving, best practices for calving interventions, and calf care immediately after delivery and in the crucial days afterward. It is a two-day program held two weeks apart and will be held on-farm with a combination of presentations, demonstrations, farm walk-through's and discussion. Each day runs from 9:30 AM to 3:00 PM. Participants can sign up for both or just one day. Registration is $75 for both days, or $40 for one day.
