University of Missouri Extension is scheduled to offer a hands-on farrowing clinic billed as “for both the newbie and the pro” in Carrollton at 5:30 p.m. February 22.

MU Extension livestock specialist Heather Conrow says the clinic covers the basics, including reproductive anatomy and endocrinology, artificial insemination, farrowing and piglet processing. After the classroom sessions, participants will be guided through hands-on stations.

Conrow encourages 4-H and FFA members to attend the session and earn three swine or veterinary science project hours.

The event is located at the Carroll County Youth Building, at 101 Walnut Hills in Carrollton.

Individuals must register by Friday, February 18 by calling the MU Extension Center in Carroll County at (660) 542-1792 or emailing Conrow at hconrow@missouri.edu.
