Reproduction is one of the most important factors influencing production and profitability of your clients’ cow-calf herds. 

To support bovine veterinarians and producers’ cow/calf reproductive work, Elanco Animal Health is offering a one-hour webinar “Management Tools to Maximize Reproduction” on Tuesday, Oct. 11 at 1 pm Central.

The program – approved for 1 hour of continuing education (RACE approval) – will address practical tools that can help maximize reproduction efficiencies in the herd. Featured speakers are beef cattle technical consultants for the company, Dr. Frank White and Dr. Sara Lineen, respectively. 

They will discuss:

2. Developing and selecting replacement heifers to help producers make money and build their operation for the future
3. New vaccine research that will impact producers’ bottom line
