Calf-raising experts will share the latest research, techniques and ideas during three one-day Calf Care Connection workshops next month. The events will be held November 10 in Menomonie, November 11 in Stratford, and November 12 in Hilbert. Offered by the Professional Dairy Producers of Wisconsin, each workshop is a day-long classroom training with hands-on learning labs designed specifically for dairy producers, professional calf feeders and heifer growers.

The training will be led by industry experts such as Dr. Curt Vlietstra of Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica; Dr. Brent Cousin, Holsum Elm Veterinary; and Dr. Vicky Lauer from Armor Animal Health Professional Services.

This year, attendees will learn about managing the resurgence of diseases, such as Bovine Viral Diarrhea and considerations to make when feeding milk.

The workshop will start at 9:30 a.m. and conclude by 4:30 p.m. Calf Care Connection training is being offered to PDPW members of $100. Non-members can register for $225.
