Ranchers, who want to reduce calf loss at calving, and to learn how to properly assist cows at calving, should plan to attend “Assisting the Beef Cow at Calving” with Dr. Robert Mortimer, a nationally known veterinarian from Colorado State University. Programs will be held at six sites across the state. The cost is $20, which can be paid at the door.
Dr. Mortimer will discuss “Handling Calving Difficulty” with emphasis on decision making and the “Hows” and “Whys” of techniques for providing assistance.
Dr. Mortimer developed a program strongly emphasizing hands-on experience in calving management and produced a video with Elanco and Beef Today on “How to Save More Calves at Calving.”
