Join us for the third virtual session learning about feeding and managing pregnant beef cows and heifers for calf success from Dr. Allison Meyer, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Nutritional Physiology/Ruminant Nutrition, University of Missouri.  Management and nutrition of cows and heifers during late pregnancy can have long consequences-both positive and negative-for themselves and their calves. This webinar will focus on recent Mizzou research that gives us more insight into this critical period.  This session will prepare attendees for the in-person Pearls of Production Conference on November 8.  

Introducing “Chick-Chat” (starting at 6:40pm) a 20-minute session as you log on to network and talk to other producers.  If virtual sessions aren’t your cup of tea, we are also providing “Barn locations” to attend the session from one of seven extension offices.    

This is the third of five Pixels of Production Sessions, leading up to Pearls of Production in November. Virtual sessions will provide additional foundation for the hands-on training available at Pearls of Production.    

Cost: $10
