Outwintering Field Day at WCROC in Morris
Minnesota Ag Connection - 02/14/2017
Outwintering dairy cattle continues to increase in popularity, especially with the potential to reduce housing costs. Part of the dairy research at the West Central Research and Outreach Center (WCROC) is to evaluate various outwintering options and the effect
on herd health and comfort.
Outwintering Field Day on March 9 from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. will include tours of the out-wintered dairy herd at the WCROC, organic milking cows, and breeding and young stock living in three different pasture areas. Animal well-being and pasture use will
also be discussed. Participants should bring their own stories to share, and dress appropriately for the weather since time will be spent outside.
No pre-registration is required; people can register at the door. Admission is free. A lunch will be provided.
The WCROC is located at 46352 State Hwy 329, Morris.
The University of Minnesota Outwintering Field Day is in collaboration with the Dairy Grazing Apprenticeship program.
