Webinar on search for the optimum cow is scheduled for October 23
 
Please join the Midwest Beef Cattle Consultants team on Oct. 23 at 7 p.m. EDT for a webinar, “Building A Forage-Efficient Cow: The Continued Search For The Elusive Optimum Cow. The speaker, Dr. David Lalman, is one of the most well-respected beef cattle animal scientists in North America.

He has recently completed a comprehensive study on the impact of cow size on calf production, fertility, efficiency and maintenance cost.
