Cow/calf workshop planned in Staples

University of Minnesota Extension will hold the annual Cow/Calf Days workshop in Staples Tuesday, Feb. 7 starting at 9:30 a.m. in the Assembly Room at Central Lakes College. This event has been held for over 40 years and continues to be the leading information, technology, and research outlet for cow/calf producers in the state of Minnesota.

This year’s event will feature information on  managing scours in calves, grazing management, results of a U of M study on the impact of different hay rake designs, and results of a U of M study on the impact of hay feeder design on hay waste. Updates from the Minnesota State Cattlemen’s Association will also highlight the event. 

The corresponding trade show will feature vendors with new information, technology, and products with a wide-array of practical uses for the operators in the cow-calf sector.

The program is directed at cow/calf producers and allied industry representatives. It is open to the public. A meal will be served with the program and a registration fee will include the meal, proceedings book and program materials. The program is approximately three hours long.
