Nebraska Extension to Host Cow Clinic at Alma Livestock Auction
Prepare your herd early for a successful calving and breeding season
A successful calving season does not begin at calving, rather it begins much earlier, with the management of the cow herd months prior. Nebraska Extension will be hosting a Cow Clinic on December 4 at Alma Livestock Auction to review some of the basic management factors that can lead to a successful calving and breeding season.
The Cow Clinic will begin at 10:00 a.m. with registration and conclude at 2:00 p.m. local time. The clinic will cover the how, when, and why of body condition scoring, teat and udder scoring, and forage sampling. Understanding a forage analysis and developing diets for the last trimester will also be a part of the program. A team of Extension Educators and Specialists will lead the discussion with hands-on demonstrations.
The first 20 producers who register will receive instructions on how to receive a free forage test. The cost to attend is $20, which includes a meal and Nebraska Extension resources. To register, please email erin.laborie@unl.edu or call (308) 928-2119 by November 27.
