“Save a Calf, Save a Cow – Dairy Workshop” is happening in February

The University of Wisconsin Division of Extension is offering an in-person Save A Calf, Save A Cow – Dairy Workshop for dairy producers and dairy workers which is presented in English with English and Spanish slides and interpretation available by request.
