Montana Livestock Emergency Communication Plan Stakeholder Webinar
Date & Time: Jan 13, 2026 05:30 PM in Mountain Time (US and Canada)
The Montana Department of Livestock (DOL) recognizes that an animal disease outbreak and livestock movement restrictions can create inconvenience for farmers and ranchers. DOL received USDA funding to develop a Communication Plan for a livestock emergency. Stakeholders are critical to ensure the success of the project, applicability of the plan, and ultimately, the health of Montana’s livestock herd. One hour of CE credit is available for veterinarians who attend 50 minutes of the live presentation. THE SESSION WILL BE RECORDED.
