Dairy Calf and Heifer Association’s (DCHA) Nov. 20 webinar features “Lessons from the feedlot: Feeding dairy x beef.” This free, one-hour educational offering starts at 2 p.m. Central time (Chicago time).
Aimee Hafla, Cargill Animal Nutrition beef innovation and technical lead – North America, will explain why dairy-origin beef animals are more important than ever. They diversify farm income and fill a gap in beef industry demand. How farmers and veterinarians manage dairy-beef crosses through each life stage is important to not only their efficiency but also their health. Learn how to efficiently feed and care for dairy-beef crossbreds.
Born and raised on a commercial cattle ranch in eastern Montana, Hafla has a deep passion for the beef industry. After completing her bachelor’s degree in animal and range sciences and biotechnology and her master’s degree in animal science at Montana State University, she received her PhD from Texas A&M University where she studied the biological mechanisms that contribute to feed efficiency in beef heifers and cows.
Prior to joining Cargill, she spent seven years as a beef cattle nutritionist doing technical support for the sales force at Agri-King Inc. Her diverse agricultural background with work in plant sciences and beef and dairy cattle nutrition serve her well in her role at Cargill. Hafla supports the Cargill beef business through her work on the innovation pipeline and development of new products, solutions and services.
