The
Cow Comfort Workshops are an educational program for farmers, employees
and agriservice professionals who work directly with dairy cows. The
workshops will cover economics of improving cow comfort, stall design
and management, stocking density, heat abatement and effects on
production.
Each session will include an on-farm portion where attendees walk through a facility assessment.
Each
Cow Comfort Workshop is a day-long program held from 9:30 am to 3 pm.
The program will be held on farm with a combination of presentations,
demonstrations, farm walk-throughs and discussion.
