Make plans to attend the Dairy Calf and Heifer Association (DCHA) Annual Conference set for April 11-13, 2016 in Madison, Wis.
The people working to raise dairy calves and heifers share unique challenges. Join like-minded individuals for educational presentations about challenges and opportunities in the calf and heifer raising sector along with an industry-specific trade show and farm tours.
Producer panels, presentations and breakout sessions will discuss housing, nutrition, disease management, antibiotic use and the profitability of raising dairy-beef. Other topics will include building client and team relationships and new aspects of animal welfare. A highlight of the conference will be updates on the DCHA's Gold Standards of calf and heifer raising.
The event will include on-farm sessions and tours, as well as post-conference tours and demonstrations at the Wisconsin Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory and the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine.
