Please join us in your region for this interactive series of on-farm workshops reviewing strategic and operational calf rearing management in your dairy farm business.

This workshop series will be delivered by Dr Carl Hockey (RuralVet Pty Ltd) over4 x 2-hour facilitated on-farm sessions,building upon the Rearing Healthy Calves Fundamentals course.

Participants will examine their own calf rearing operations to identify areas for improvement. At the completion of this review, they will be encouraged to develop a farm action plan to support achievement of their specific calf rearing goals.

Day 1 of this series of workshops was kindly hosted by The De Vere family and we focused on preparation for calving, calf housing and calf IDs & traceability.

Day 2 of this series of workshops was kindly hosted by Obi Obi Dairy and we focused on biosecurity, calf husbandry and calf health.

Day 3of this series was kindly hosted by The Rozynski family and focussed on colostrum management, nutrition andweaning.

Day 4 will focus on calf pathways, a review of all calf topics and putting together a 'Plan on a page' for calf rearing in your business.We can also discuss disbudding practices and have a practical demonstration using the various pain relief options available.

At the on-farm workshops, you will have the opportunity to share experiences with other participants as they explore ways to overcome roadblocks to improving calf rearing management on their farms.

(Whilst it would be great if you are able to attend all four sessions, please note you are welcome to attend any of the individual workshop events, even if you have not attended prior regional sessions)
