To assist or not to assist? That is (one of) the questions dairy farm personnel have while working in the maternity area on a farm.
This workshop will teach best calving management practices to minimize stillbirth rates and improve calf and cow health during and directly after the calving process.
This in-person workshop includes an oral presentation followed by hands-on demonstration and practice intended to train farm personnel in the performance objectives below. Under the guidance of experienced educators, participants will apply the concepts from the oral presentation using model cow and calf.
Performance Objectives:
- Understand Anatomy and Physiology of Calving
- Recognize and Monitor Signs of Labor
- Assess Normal and Abnormal Calf Position
- Properly Assist the Calving Process
- Use Chains, Pulley/Calf-Jack Safely and Effectively
- Immediate Post-Partum Cow and Calf Care

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.
