How do you deal with escaped livestock after a traffic incident? Thankfully, that is not a situation that all first responders have to deal with. However, if it happens and you are the person on the scene, how do you handle it?
Purdue Extension is offering an Emergency Animal Management Program on May 11, from 12:00 (noon) until 4:00 p.m. at the Whitley County 4-H Center, 680 West Squawbuck Road, Columbia City, IN. The program will start with a sponsored meal.
