(NewsDakota.com/NDSU) – The webinar will help ranchers prepare to calve in potentially adverse weather conditions.

North Dakota State University Extension will host a Spring Calving Preparedness webinar Thursday, March 30 from 1 to 3 p.m. CDT (noon to 2 p.m. MDT).

“With as much fog as we had in January, some producers are concerned we will have a repeat of last year’s winter storms this spring,” says Devan Leo, NDSU Extension agriculture and natural resources agent in McKenzie County.

To address concerns about the calving season, NDSU Extension specialists will present sessions aimed at helping ranchers prepare for calving in potentially adverse weather conditions. Topics and presenters are:

Managing for successful calving – Lisa Pederson, NDSU Extension

Ensuring calf health – Dr. Gerald Stokka, NDSU Extension
