Risk Management Update
Feb. 8, 2010
Dear Friends,
We would like to thank those of you who attended the Risk Management Seminars hosted by Western United Dairymen on December 15 and 16, 2009. Both events, in Modesto and Tulare, were well attended and we have received a tremendous amount of positive feedback.
In response to our members, Western United Dairymen is proud to announce a new section of our website dedicated to the topic of risk management. The section provides an array of information, links, resources and contacts aimed at helping producers in their quest for additional education. You may even download the overhead presentations used at the risk management seminars by visiting:

At the Western United Dairymen convention, the same three speakers (who led the risk management seminars in December) will again be presenting the latest in risk management on Friday, March 12. If you are unable to make it Friday or would like to visit one-on-one with the speakers, you may do so at the trade show on March 10 and 11, where each company will have a booth in the lobby. For the latest information about our convention, keep visiting our website at: http://westernuniteddairymen.com/content/view/39/41/
Finally, with sincere appreciation, we would also like to thank the following for sponsors for making the risk management seminars possible:
We wish the dairy industry and all of you, a successful year.
Sincerely,
