Calving clinics Nov. 9 in Salisbury
November 9, 2021 @ 6:00 pm
$30MU Extension livestock specialist Heather Conrow says the clinics include classroom sessions and hands-on training. She also encourages 4-H and FFA youths ages 12 and up to attend.
The clinics teach producers when and how to assist during delivery, when to contact a veterinarian and how to care for the newborn calf.
Presentations include:
- Determination of calf presentation during calving.
- Techniques to assist livestock through a difficult birth.
- Techniques to care for the newborn calf.
- Techniques to care for the mother after a difficult birth.
Hands-on demonstrations:
- Calf pulling.
- Tubing.
A “phantom uterus” will simulate techniques used during calving. A cadaver calf provides a realistic demonstration of the many ways the farmer can assist the cow and unborn calf in delivery. Participants also will have an opportunity to practice tube feeding a cadaver calf.
Register by Nov. 8. Details are on the Facebook pages for MU Extension in Chariton, Howard and Randolph counties.
A downloadable PDF registration form is at muext.us/CalvingClinic2021. You can also register in person at 5:30 p.m. on the day of the event. The program begins at 6 p.m.
