*UPCOMING WEBINAR* Setting Records- Calving Season Data Collection Jan 12th
While calving is one of the busiest times of the production cycle for cow-calf producers, there’s a lot of important information that can be collected. Which data is the most important to help you make critical decisions on your operation? This presentation will discuss the records that are worth spending valuable time collecting at calving.

The speakers will share insight and answer your questions about data collection at calving and how to make the best decisions for your operation!
