“Success in dairy farming is
greatly influenced by herd
strength and longevity,” Haenlein
says. “Whether the cows in a herd
last an average five, six or eight
years translates quickly into the
overhead costs involved in raising
replacement calves. Selecting
these calves is another crucial
economic decision. Which ones will
be worth two years of care without
production returns? Farmers must
base such decisions on experience
and knowledge of the strengths and
weaknesses of each animal.”
Haenlein says the skills to do this
are gained through years of
working with cattle, training in
schools, 4-H and FFA projects, and
breed association and extension
programs, including workshops
such as the upcoming one.
There is no fee to participate, but
bring a bag lunch. Those who plan
to stay for supper should also bring
a covered dish. Beverages, meat
and place settings will be provided.
