There are proper techniques for administering vaccinations or treatments on a dairy, as well as performing tasks to monitor herd health. The herdsperson is typically responsible for carrying out these tasks.
This workshop will teach proper techniques for common tasks related to herd health monitoring and treatment. This workshop will cover how to carry out common practices; however, specific farm protocols, diagnoses and treatments should be discussed with, and implemented according to, each farm's veterinarian.

Due to the unprecedented winter storm that recently impacted travel conditions across the region and U.S., combined with extreme cold temperatures and associated safety concerns, Forage Congress was postponed out of an abundance of caution. This decision was made with the safety of our participants, speakers, staff, and venue partners as the highest priority.
We are pleased to officially announce that Forage Congress has been rescheduled for Thursday, March 12, 2026, and will be held at The Nunda Ranch as originally planned.
