AGRI 20Z Domestic Livestock Obstetrics

I'd like to let you all know that we have a community service class that is being offered by Dr. Boyd Spratling this January, AGRI 20Z Domestic Livestock Obstetrics. It will be held January 4, 11, 18, and 19 from 5:30 to 8:30pm. The class is offered in Elko in HTC 123, in Ely GBC 112, Pahrump GBC 122, and Battle Mountain IAV 1. The course costs $80 and there is a $10 one-time enrollment fee to become a GBC student.

The course will cover delivery and delivery assistance procedures for cattle, sheep and horses. The course will cover sanitation measures, when to call your veterinarian, and post-delivery complications that should be monitored. Troubleshooting for numerous common dystocias will be discussed as well. This class is designed as an update and refresher for livestock producers and agriculture students to take just before birthing time begins for cattle, sheep, and horses. Please see the attached flier for more information about the course.
