Program ends at 2:30pm, but there is an opportunity to stay longer and get more practice with the Dystocia Model.
Knowing the stages of labor and recognizing when a cow needs assistance are important skills. This workshop will educate attendees on those skills and will include a hands-on experience with a life size model of a cow ready to calve along with her calf. Attendees will be able to practice a variety of dystocia situations.
Topic at Each Station:
- Delivering the Calf with the Dystocia Model
- Stages of Labor & Using the Calving Tools
- Neonatal Management
- Postpartum Cow Care
