Producers will attend sessions on Monday, Nov. 6 and Tuesday, Nov. 14. Both sessions will run from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. and will utilize videoconference technology in multiple locations throughout the three-state region.

Topics included in Session I are cow/calf vaccination programs, prudent drug use for internal parasites and preconditioning programs. Session 11 on Nov. 14 will focus on feedlot diseases, infertility of the beef herd, biosecurity practices and the 2005 National Beef Quality Audit. Topics will be addressed by some of the top veterinarians in the country.

Cost of the program will be $15 for both nights. Contact Kevan Tucker at the Clarke County Extension Office (251-275-3121) for more information about the program or to receive a Registration Form.
