Sign Up for April Animal Care Workshops

Center for Dairy Excellence

There are a few spots left for the two animal care workshops happening this April! Free for dairy producers and your employees, they will be held on dairy farms in Westmoreland and Potter County. We hope to see you at one of these events:

  • Wed. April 12 at Lone Oak Farms in Westmoreland County – Register today.
  • Tues. April 25 at Hoffman Farms in Potter County – Register today.

What can you expect from the workshops? Hosted by the Center for Dairy Excellence, the Professional Dairy Managers of PA (PDMP), the PA Beef Council and Penn State Extension, the events will help you and your dairy team boost your skills and get certified in key animal welfare areas within the Farmers Assuring Responsible Management (FARM) Program. A Spanish interpreter will be present at each event, making the workshops ideal for both English and Spanish-speaking employees. A certificate will also be provided at the conclusion of each workshop to show your commitment to National FARM and animal care. You will also have the opportunity to be certified through the National Beef Council Calf Care & Quality Assurance (CCQA) program by the end of the workshop.

“My employees both enjoyed your March workshop and came home with ideas we can use to improve our farm. One of them said it was one of the better farm meetings he attended over the years. Our grazing apprenticeship and young employee was overwhelmed with information, but learned new concepts from the instructors. I’m grateful to your team for planning a good event and helping me to teach my employees.” – David Rice, Clover Creek Cheese Cellar
