Feed cost optimization central to fall profit seminar theme

The rising cost of inputs for dairy calf and heifer growers and other livestock producers is a chief concern. Maximizing the nutritional benefit while minizing cost means better profitability. This fall the Dairy Calf & Heifer Profit Seminars focus on feed cost optimization.

The Profit Seminars afford both members and non-members the opportunity to hear the latest from nationally recognized speakers. These one day meetings allow those that may not be able to travel to the National Conference attend a meeting in their area.

Producers learn the latest techniques and technologies as they relate to both calves and heifers. Profit Seminars also provide an excellent opportunity for face-to-face interaction with local and regional vendors producers value.

Join managers, producers, owners and leading experts in the dairy calf and heifer industry for the DCHA Profit Seminars. Learn about the latest dairy calf and heifer production developments from industry experts, meet fellow calf and heifer growers and share knowledge. This is your chance to hear the latest industry news and dvelopments. Don't miss out, register today.
