Registration has opened for the Midwest Dairy Day: Advanced Calving Clinic for Dairy and Beef. The event will be held Thursday, December 6th, from 10 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. at Iowa's Dairy Center located at 1527 Highway 150 S, in Calmar.
The event is a collaboration between Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, the Northeast Iowa Dairy Foundation and Northeast Iowa Community College (NICC). This year's event will provide an array of sessions on advanced calving, including a unique opportunity for a hands-on experience with a life-sized cow model. Participants choose to attend one of two different blocks of sessions: one block focuses on dairy cows and the other block focuses on beef cows. Dairy and beef producers, students and industry members are encouraged to attend.
