The value of a pregnant cow is the focus of the I-29 "Moo-University" annual winter workshop series.
The I-29 Dairy Outreach Consortium workshops are scheduled at these five locations in January:
• Jan. 11 - Baymont Inn and Suites, Mandan, North Dakota

• Jan. 13 - Pizza Ranch, Pipestone, Minnesota
• Jan. 14 - Sioux County Extension office, Orange City, Iowa

"This workshop is a great opportunity for dairy producers to learn more on a variety of popular dairy subjects," says J.W. Schroeder, NDSU Extension Service diary specialist and member of the consortium. "Featured topics include synchronization, optimizing genomics and genetics technologies, profit-driven personnel management techniques, performance records and the economics of reproduction decisions."
The consortium consists of Extension personnel from NDSU, the University of Minnesota, South Dakota State University, Iowa State University and the University of Nebraska, and members of the Minnesota Dairy Initiative, South Dakota Dairy Producers, Iowa State Dairy Association and Nebraska State Dairy Association.
