Raising the Bar: Building Better Heifers

About this event

Raising the Bar: Building Better Heifers is a free workshop for dairy producers and employees focused on practical strategies for raising healthy, productive replacement heifers. The program will include a summary of a recent Extension survey of dairy producer participants on the current cost of raising replacement heifers, findings from a year-long Wisconsin colostrum management study, and ways to identify feeding bottlenecks that may limit growth. Featured speaker Dr. Paul Fricke will discuss strategies to optimize heifer growth and reproduction. Lunch is provided by Parnell.
