To assist or not to assist? That is (one of) the questions dairy farm personnel have while working in the maternity area on a farm.

This workshop will teach the best calving management practices to minimize stillbirth rates and improve calf and cow health during and directly after the calving process.

This in-person workshop includes an oral presentation followed by a hands-on demonstration and practice to train farm personnel in the performance objectives below. Under the guidance of experienced educators, participants will apply the concepts from the oral presentation using model cow and calf.

Performance Objectives:

  • Understand Anatomy and Physiology of Calving
  • Recognize and Monitor Signs of Labor
  • Assess Normal and Abnormal Calf Position
  • Properly Assist the Calving Process
  • Use Chains, Pulley/Calf-Jack Safely and Effectively
  • Immediate Post-Partum Cow and Calf Care
