The agenda and impressive line-up of speakers for the 2015 conference was planned for and hosted by calf and heifer raisers. The team created the new two-day agenda with a focus on calf performance, employee empowerment and financial success.
“This year’s DCHA Conference was one of our most successful to date,” says Lane Sollenberger, DCHA president anowner of Dream Farms in Newburg, Pennsylvania. “Like the other conference attendees, I am energized by the new ideas that I can take back to my facility; gained through the seminars, farm tours and by networking with other calf and heifer raisers and industry leaders. The DCHA team is proud of our association’s growth and is excited to continue building on this momentum.”
The conference lineup included educational tracks for all involved in calf raising, with sessions for: farm owners and managers, employees and those interested in dairy beef.
