State Fees Set For 2018-19
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – The South Dakota Board of Technical Education approved 2018-19 state tuition and fees at the
state’s four technical institutes at its meeting today. The
overall cost per credit hour will be $157. Students will pay
$116 per credit hour in state tuition, which is a $2 per credit
hour increase. The following state fees will hold steady:
•Facility fee: $35 per credit hour
•Maintenance and repair: $5 per credit hour
•Postsecondary transition fee*: $1 per credit hour
•*Postsecondary transition fees are used to support staff
and activities designed to assist students in the transition to
postsecondary education. This fee was formerly referred to
as the technology fee.
“The leaders of our state technical institutes recognize
the importance of affordability for students,” said Nick
Wendell, executive director of the South Dakota Board of
Technical Education. “While tuition will go up slightly in
2018-19, the increase adopted by the board today is smaller
than has occurred in each of the past five years.”

"Weather during our Upper Midwest spring calving
season can prove challenging with frigid temperatures
and mud. When weather becomes a factor during calving,
it can impact a calf's survival," said Taylor Grussing, SDSU
Extension Cow/Calf Field Specialist.

Other products:
Oral Calf Paste/Gel: Oral calf paste/gel products that
come in 30 milliliter tubes have become popular in recent
years as an easy way to provide additional nutrients to
newborn calves. But do these pastes provide the same
immunity as colostrum?
Calf pastes will vary in design to provide all or some
of the following supplements: energy, vitamins, minerals,
E.coli prevention, probiotics and lactic acid to name a
few.
Note: these pastes are not colostrum replacements or
supplements. Therefore, it is important to not substitute
one for the other based on calf needs.
"If a calf needs a small burst of energy on a cold day
or appetite stimulation, these paste may be a convenient
option for producers. Yet, long term benefits are not the
goal of these products," Grussing said.
Electrolyte solutions: Electrolyte solutions should be
used to provide fluid to calves that have scours.
Livestock producers should purchase electrolytes that
also contain vitamins and minerals, especially sodium,
potassium, chloride and bicarbonate.
When a calf has scours, livestock producers should
give the calf a 2-quart dose of electrolyte fluid every two
to six hours as needed.
"Electrolytes are not a complete nutrient replacer,
some energy and protein supplements may be necessary
if the calf is not nursing consistently," Grussing said. "As
long as the calf is not in severe dehydration, nursing does
not prolong or worsen diarrhea."
Keep in mind that the gut healing process is still taking
place after scours have stopped; therefore, continued
treatment is important for full recovery.
Contact a marketing representative at the
