April 2022 Workshop TBD

• Everyone's favorite record books! ( please bring your past record book if you would like tips on improving. No one has had a perfect record book the last two years so everyone can learn and improve) If time allows and ground conditions are ok, for those interested , we may have a tour of the dairy( this will not include the milking parlor this time). ​Reminder, Lease A Dairy members, this is a required event. If you cannot make it to clinic you need to notify me prior to clinic so you can complete an alternative activity
