U.S. Dairy Calf and Heifer Association 2009 conference

The D.C.H.A. holds its annual conference in a different state of America each year. These conferences are a fascinating collection of presentations by speakers who have expertise in all facets of dairy heifer care and welfare.

At the beginning of April Sam was lucky enough to attend the 2009 conference, which was held in Tucson, Arizona. Kerry Spain, who was the 2008 winner of the “Diamond V Calf Rearer of the Year” award was also able to attend this great event. I am looking forward to catching up with Kerry to hear what she thought of the event. As soon as I have the copy of the proceedings Sam is sending me, I will post some of the information on the website.
