"Towards longer lasting cows" was presented by Frank Garry, Colorado State University, at noon (Central time) on Monday, November 10. Historically, causes of dairy cow death and forced culling have not been seen as important areas for scrutiny or monitoring, but evaluating these losses gives insight into important management factors. He discussed why and how we should monitor premature removals from our herds, including death losses.
