Cornell Cooperative Extension and Cornell CALS PRO-DAIRY are holding a two-day Calving and Neonatal Calf Care Training in October and November.
The Calving and Neonatal Calf Care Training is an educational program for farmers, employees and agri-service people who work directly with dairy cows and calves. 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.
