Your Weaning Strategy

Weaning season
is one of the most critical time periods in the lives of your calves. How well
you manage that hurdle will influence their health, performance, end-product
quality — and, most importantly, your bottom line.

p.m. (CST), Monday, Aug. 9 on RFD-TV to learn more about comprehensive
pre-weaning and weaning strategies and to hear from industry experts who will
discuss solutions to your most difficult weaning management issues.
The live,
hour-long program is sponsored by the American Angus Association¨
and Biozyme Inc. — makers of Vita Ferm¨ and other
industry-leading animal nutrition products — and will again include
