Program for woman dairy producers will be offered by ISU Extension online in 2021.
Dec 10, 2020
Instead of holding in-person meetings for its annual Boots in the Barn program, Iowa State University Extension will host it virtually in early 2021. This annual educational program is a three-part series for women involved in a dairy operation or industry, and will be held as a webinar series. The webinars will be Jan. 22 and 29, and Feb. 5, via Zoom from noon to 1:15 p.m. each day.
The Jan. 22 session will feature Sarah Adcock, assistant professor in animal welfare research at the University of Wisconsin. Adcock will discuss pain management for disbudding, and steps producers can take to stay ahead of consumer concerns and changing industry standards for this procedure.
