The Advanced Cattle Feeders Clinic will be held on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., offering cattle producers a full day of hands‑on learning and practical skill development.

The event will take place at Schwers' Brothers Feedlot, 31662 Hwy 3, New Vienna, Iowa. For questions or further details, participants may contact Denise Schwab at (319) 472‑4739.

This clinic is designed for cattle feeders who want to enhance their livestock management skills through real‑world, interactive activities. Participants will practice feed mixing, learning how to balance and prepare rations that support healthy cattle growth.

Training will also focus on bunk management, an essential skill for preventing feed waste and ensuring cattle receive proper nutrition.

Another important component of the clinic involves foot health management, helping producers identify issues early and maintain the overall well‑being of their herds. Attendees will also complete implant audits, gaining practical knowledge about proper implant use and documentation.

The clinic covers quality assurance practices, emphasizing safe, responsible, and effective production standards used throughout the cattle industry.

These sessions are valuable for both new and experienced cattle feeders, as they combine expert instruction with participatory learning. The goal of the clinic is to strengthen livestock production practices and support producers in improving their feeding programs, animal health strategies, and overall herd performance.

Registration is encouraged for all participants. The organizers highlight the event as an excellent opportunity to connect, learn, and engage with other cattle feeders and livestock professionals. Attendees are encouraged to secure their spot by registering early to ensure access to all training sessions.

By offering practical education and industry‑based instruction, the Advanced Cattle Feeders Clinic continues to support the growth and success of cattle producers across the region.
