U of M Cattle Feeder Days 2005

The University of Minnesota Extension Beef Team would like to announce our plans to host the 2005 U of M Cattle Feeder Days. Cattle Feeder Days has become to be known as the premier Extension program that focuses on all important issues affecting cattle feeders in the state of Minnesota. We have several informative topics and excellent speakers at locations across the state.

Dr. Alfredo DiCostanzo will be discussing pre- and post-weaning management for carcass quality. Jim Lunde of Merial Animal Health will talk about adding value to feeder calves and Court Campbell of Fort Dodge Animal Health will follow-up with implant strategies for a grid-based marketing program. Wayne Anderson of Minnesota Pollution Control Agency will give an update on waste management issues and there will be a briefing of the current status of animal id in Minnesota.
