University of Missouri Extension will hold calving clinics on Nov 9 in Salisbury and Nov. 11 in Clark.
MU Extension livestock specialist Heather Conrow says the clinics include classroom sessions and hands-on training. She also encourages 4-H and FFA youths ages 12 and up to attend.
The clinics teach producers when and how to assist during delivery, when to contact a veterinarian, and how to care for the newborn calf.
Presentations include:
• Determination of calf presentation during calving.
• Techniques to assist livestock through a difficult birth.
• Techniques to care for the newborn calf.
• Techniques to care for the mother after a difficult birth.
Hands-on demonstrations include calf pulling and tubing.
A “phantom uterus” will simulate techniques used during calving. A cadaver calf provides a realistic demonstration of the many ways the farmer can assist the cow and unborn calf in delivery. Participants also will have an opportunity to practice tube feeding a cadaver calf.
Register by Nov. 8. Details are on the Facebook pages for MU Extension in Chariton, Howard and Randolph counties.
