FARM Program Continuing Education Articles in Spanish By Lindsay Ferlito 

Version 4.0 of the National Dairy FARM Program is in effect January 1, 2020, to June 30, 2024. One of the changes to this version is the requirement of training and continuing education for employees as well as family member employees and owners. Version 4.0 requires annual continuing education in animal care and handling for anybody with animal care responsibilities, and job-specific training for the following topics if they apply:  

1. Stockmanship
2. Pre-weaned calf care
3.  Non-ambulatory animals
4. Euthanasia 
5. Determining if animals are fit to transport 

In 2020, the CCE NCRAT Dairy Specialists wrote an article covering each of these five topic (https://ncrat.cce.cornell.edu/...). Recently, Dr. Kaitlyn Lutz, the Bilingual Dairy Management Specialist on the CCE NWNY Dairy, Livestock, and Field Crops Team, translated these articles to Spanish.
