The Economic Value of Improving Reproductive Efficiency. Victor Cabrera will explain how much your profits could increase by improving you herd’s reproductive efficiency.

Update on Reproductive Research at UW-Madison. Paul Fricke will highlight research that provides practical management strategies and assesses new reproductive technologies.

Mastitis is Not Only about Milk. Pamela Ruegg will discuss how mastitis can impact the reproductive performance of your herd.

ReproMoney and How It Can Help You Increase Your Economic Returns. Connie Cordoba will talk about this new, free program offered to all Wisconsin dairy farmers. She will explain how the program can help you identify which areas of your reproductive plan are slowing down your gains and help you address each issue through an organized plan.

The workshops will be held at the Ag Service & Education Center in Baldwin, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., on Feb. 28. Cost for the program is $10 in advance, or $15 at the door. For more information contact: Ryan Sterry, St. Croix County agriculture agent, at 715-531-1930 or ryan.sterry@uwex.edu.
