ORANGE CITY, Iowa — Whether you were unable to attend the Hairy Heel Wart and Cattle Lameness Symposium on June 28 or you were there and would like to refresh your recollection on the topics and speakers, we have just the thing. Four archived videos and one presentation in pdf are now available.

The archived sessions are broken into four separate videos for easy viewing:

  • Iowa Beef Council Research and Diagnostics
  • Diagnosis of Hairy Heel Wart and Other Cattle Lameness Issues
  • Hairy Heel Wart Prevention and Treatment
  • Open Discussion of Future Needs

Find these links on the Iowa Beef Center website's cattle health page under general health. You also can find the videos on the IBC YouTube channel in the Hairy Heel Wart and Lameness playlist.
