January 20, 2006 Dairy Cow College Dates Set The 13th annual Dairy Cow College has been scheduled for five sites throughout North Dakota in February. The program is a joint effort of the North Dakota State University Department of Animal and Range Sciences, NDSU Extension Service and Midwest Dairy Association. J.W. Schroeder, NDSU Extension dairy specialist and assistant professor in the NDSU Department of Animal and Range Sciences, and William Henning, Extension meats specialist and professor in the Department of Dairy and Animal Science at Penn State University, will discuss raising high-quality dairy steers, adding value to market cows before selling, whether feeding culled cows pays and updates of recent research on bull calves and vealers. “The information should be of special interest to cattle producers interested in feeding dairy steers,” Schroeder says. The program is designed for anyone interested in the dairy industry. Attendance is free of charge. No registration is required. Dates and sites are:
All of the sessions run from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. local time. The Midwest Dairy Association will provide lunch.
