ABOUT THE IN-PERSON WORKSHOP
Join us for a hands-on workshop focused on practical animal health management strategies that support performance and long-term sustainability. Participants will learn proper procedures for administering medications, explore low-stress livestock handling and system design, and receive guidance on docking, castration, and hoof trimming. The program also includes an interactive exercise to help identify secure and non-secure areas related to on-farm biosecurity. Farm owners will guide attendees on a tour of the operation and share real-world management practices that can be applied across a variety of livestock systems.
