Livestock

LivestockBeef cattle, sheep and goats are well suited to North Country farms and families due to the abundance of grass for hay and pasture, a cool weather growing season and ease of access to quality water. Livestock numbers have increased over 14% in the past 10 years suggesting they are occupying some of those farms that aren't as suitable to the intensive cropping required by modern dairies. Northern New York Livestock producers work together along with Cornell Cooperative Extension to improve their management and market their products locally and statewide.

As we begin 2023, we are not expecting fertilizer and nutrient shortages to disrupt crop planning as they did last year, but fertilizer prices continue to be very high.  This series of webinars is designed to help farms and producers to accurately assess fertilizer needs and to manage for optimal nutrient efficiency to minimize fertilizer purchases.

Hands-on Calving & Dystocia Workshop

March 27 - March 28, 2023

Cornell Cooperative Extension Dairy Specialists and Cornell PRO-DAIRY are excited to offer a hands-on dairy calving and dystocia workshop across the state in English and Spanish.

Knowing the stages of labor and recognizing when a cow needs assistance are important skills. This workshop will educate attendees on those skills and will include a hands-on experience with a life size model of a cow ready to calve along with her calf. Attendees will be able to practice a variety of dystocia situations. There are 2 sites in Northern NY, with the same program offered each day (in both languages both days). The cost is $75, which includes lunch and all materials. Pre-registration is required and registration is limited to the first 7 English and 7 Spanish participants per day.
