*Webinars* Strategies for Reducing Calf Losses: Veterinary Insights from Across Canada

Are calf losses cutting into your beef operation’s productivity and profitability? You are not alone! The BCRC is hosting two 90-minute webinars featuring veterinarians from across Canada who work directly with cow-calf operations like yours.

A March 18 webinar will feature veterinarians who work with Eastern Canadian cow-calf operations, sharing insights on practical prevention strategies to implement before, during and after calving to increase calf survivability. During the March 25 webinar, Western Canadian veterinarians will outline regionally relevant approaches for reducing calf losses, highlighting essential pre‑calving strategies and practical management techniques to use during calving to help ensure healthier outcomes for both cows and calves.  

Both webinars will include an extended Q&A session, giving you plenty of time to ask questions. Each webinar will also be available for one continuing education (CE) credit for veterinarians and registered veterinary technologists and technicians across Canada.
