Dairy webinar to focus on low colostrum yields

The Four-State Dairy Nutrition & Management Conference webinar series continues at noon Nov. 25 with Katelyn Goldsmith exploring the growing understanding of factors that influence colostrum yield.

In this presentation, Goldsmith will discuss the growing understanding of factors that influence colostrum yield and offer strategies to support colostrum production and manage through periods of low colostrum yields.

Goldsmith serves Wisconsin’s dairy producers as a statewide dairy outreach specialist with the University of Wisconsin-Madison Extension. In this role, she bridges the gap between research and practical on-farm management by developing resources and programs tailored to the needs of dairy farmers.

Raised on her family’s dairy farm in Iowa, Goldsmith went on to receive her bachelor’s from Iowa State University and a master’s focused on dairy cattle nutrition from Michigan State University. After working as a dairy cattle nutritionist, Goldsmith joined UW-Madison Extension, where she enjoys helping farms find functional, research-backed solutions to everyday challenges.

Producers, dairy consultants and industry reps are encouraged to attend the free webinar live from noon to 1:30 p.m. Nov. 25 by registering at least one hour before the webinar at:
