New Swine Health Series Helps Farmers Prevent On-Farm Diseases

Wisconsin pork producers have collectively asked to have a greater focus on diseases that affect pork producers every day.

In response to this request, UW Madison Division of Extension and Wisconsin Pork Association have added a Swine Health Series into their annual programming. This series will focus on impactful diseases in the pork industry and are aimed at providing producers and industry personnel with information they need to deal with and/or prevent them on their farm.

Video: The Hunt for New Life: Fall Calving at Pride Ranch Episode 1

Fall calving season is officially underway here at Pride Ranch. Today I’m walking the pastures, checking udders, watching behavior, and hoping to find the first newborn of the season. Some cows look close… others are still holding out.

• Pasture checks and cow behavior

• Signs a calf is getting close

• Where cows like to hide newborns

• The first official hunt of the season
