*Webinar* Practical Approaches to Managing Stock Water

Even water that looks clean and clear can be poor quality — and insufficient access to good-quality water can reduce beef cattle performance faster and more dramatically than any other nutrient deficiency. This February 18 webinar will explore the hidden risks of poor-quality water, discuss its implications for herd health and productivity and provide practical tools and strategies to ensure your cattle have clean, safe and adequate water supplies.

Register for the live webinar to hear from our panelists: Dr. Cheryl Waldner with the Western College of Veterinary Medicine and Saskatchewan beef producer Karla Hicks.

This webinar will be available for one continuing education (CE) credit for veterinarians and registered veterinary technologists and technicians across Canada.
