Utah Dairy Seminars Offer Insight and Information

Utah State University Extension in cooperation with Brigham Young University, the Utah Dairyman’s Association and the Utah Dairy Commission offer the “Managing Transition Cow Nutrition” seminar in three different Utah locations Dec. 15, 16 and 17. The seminar will address how stiff competition and close margins in the dairy industry require precise herd management.

Feature speaker Mike Hutjens, University of Illinois, is a well-known columnist for Hoard’s Dairyman magazine and a national expert on dry and lactating cow diets. The program will also include a trade show, a dairy producer panel discussion and updates on current regulations affecting the dairy industry in Utah.

Registration of $10 is payable at the door Dec. 15 at the Snow College South Conference Center in Richfield; Dec. 16 at the Brigham Young University Conference Center in Provo; and Dec. 17 at the Caine Dairy Research and Teaching Center in Wellsville. Each identical seminar begins with registration at 9 a.m. and concludes with the trade show at 2:45 p.m. Lunch is included in the registration fee.
