- Planning and developing the fourth edition of El “Break” Info-Lechero. This webinar in Spanish was created to help dairy workers and the dairy industry in Wisconsin and around the world get access to the most up to date dairy information in different topics like animal reproduction, date collection, animal welfare, nutrition, calf care and more. This webinar will be held in September and October 2026. https://dairy.extension.wisc.edu/el-break-info-lechero-english/
- Bovi-noticias is a bilingual (English & Spanish) newsletter created through collaboration between the Dairy and Farm Management teams. It provides dairy farms and their employees with accessible, research-based information that explains the reasons behind key practices and offers practical insights for daily work. Through this effort, Bovi-noticias helps build a more informed and engaged workforce, improving animal well-being, optimizing resources, and supporting farm profitability and safety. New summer issue, see the attachment. https://dairy.extension.wisc.edu/bovi-noticias/
- A statewide program promoting humane dairy cow-handling practices for dairy cow handlers where the participants will learn to be aware of their own beliefs about working with cows, which affect how they interact with them. They will also learn how to form or maintain good habits, which will make the cows easier to handler and their job smoother. In July, August, and September, we will schedule
farms where we are going to provide the course and get
feedback from the employees.
