Pink eye was more than a nuisance for many beef and dairy producers across the Valley in spring 2025. This meeting is about learning from that spike and getting ahead of it before the next grazing season hits.
Join us Wednesday, January 28th at 6 pm for a producer-focused panel discussion on pink eye prevention and treatment strategies you can actually use in your operation. A complimentary meal will be provided.
📍 Shenandoah Valley Electric Cooperative – Community Meeting Room
180 Oakwood Drive, Harrisonburg, VA 22801
This panel brings together real-world experience from the clinic, the pasture, the state level, and animal health industry:
Justin Hill, DVM – Partner at Dayton Veterinary Services and local beef & dairy farmer
Gary B. Teter, DVM – Retired Large Animal Veterinarian, Ashby Herd Health Services
Daniel Hadacek, DVM – Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services Regional Veterinary Supervisor, Harrisonburg Region
Matthew Saunders – Executive Cattle Sales Representative, Elanco Animal Health
The discussion will cover what likely drove the 2025 outbreak, risk factors producers should watch for, and practical steps to reduce pink eye pressure from pasture turnout through handling and confinement.
A few door prizes will be given out at the end of the evening.
RSVP encouraged by January 21st
