The Iowa Beef Center is adding online meetings to the way it offers information. In addition to holding local meetings and statewide conferences, a new format – the online meeting – is being debuted this fall.

The first online meeting, “Fall Cowherd Decisions: Herd and Calf Weaning, Marketing and Management,” is now available at www.iowabeefcenter.org/content/weaningconference.html. The course offers sessions that cover nutrition, health, marketing, cow culling and weaning strategies. The course material is offered by livestock experts in a variety of ways – podcasts, voice-over PowerPoint presentations, fact sheets, newsletters and spreadsheets.
