Producing High Health Calves

From Nancy Glazier, Cornell Cooperative Extension, NWNY Team

I recently had the opportunity to attend the 2016 Cattle Industry Convention and National Cattlemen’s Beef Association. I attended the Beef Quality Assurance State Coordinators meeting and Cattlemen’s College®. The college was broken down into breakout sessions with six presentations to choose from; it was a tough choice. Tracks included Healthy Cattle, Healthy Business; Advances in Cattle Nutrition; Industry Hot Topics; Your Business, Our Industry; Evolving Beef Production; Creating the Future. I tried to pick and choose a variety for the three sessions available. This article will highlight the presentation, Producing High Health Calves with presenter W. Mark Hilton, DVM, Clinical Professor, Food Animal Production Medicine at Purdue University. For entire article, go to High_Health_Calves.
