Hello,



The Cervid Livestock Foundation will be putting on presentations at the seminar.

Laurie Prasnicki, Charlie Seale, and various industry leaders are slated to speak, with names to follow upon final confirmation.



We expect to have an industry leader present on each seminar topic, which range from creating a business plan for the cervid industry, to new health and nutrition information, to the finer points of semen handling/artificial insemination/fawn care.
