Cooperatives Working Together will conduct a new herd retirement program this fall, the organization announced Friday. This will be the second herd retirement round conducted this year; the previous one was initiated in June.

All bids must be postmarked by Monday, November 24th, in order to be considered. All dairy producers submitting bids to sell their herds must be members of CWT as of January 2008, either through their membership in a fully participating cooperative, or as an independent member of CWT.

Bids will be reviewed in early December, with field auditors then proceeding to visit each accepted farm to begin the cow removal process.
