Understanding and Mitigating Lameness - Virtual Workshop 

March 22, 2022 |  10:00am - 12:30pm

This free virtual workshop is for anyone who works with dairy cattle. This program will cover how to identify lameness, what factors cause lameness, and practical strategies to avoid and mitigate lameness on your dairy.
