DAIRY PROJECT MEMBERS DAIRY JUDGING

Each spring, dairy project members can learn more about evaluating dairy animals and analyzing the traits of cows and heifers. Dairy Judging workouts are FUN and offer an excellent opportunity for you to learn more about the dairy project. You don't need any judging expertise. We will teach you the basics in confirmation and how to judge dairy cattle. These skills come in real handy when selecting your project animals or understanding why your animal stands where it does at the fair. You will also learn the importance of type as it relates to milk production. At judging workouts, youth break into small groups where novice members learn the parts of a cow and learn to compare groups of cows. Older youth will delve a little deeper into evaluations and learn to support their decisions with reasons. Join us as we visit these farms and learn more about evaluating dairy animals! Come to just one workout or attend as many as you can!

All sessions start at 7:30pm for youth

Tuesday, June 4, Adam Luchterhand, N6153 Cty Hwy K, Neillsville

Tuesday, June 11, Selz-Pralle Dairy, Scott Pralle, N4621 St Hwy 12, Humbird

SAW COW CONTEST Once again the Clark County Dairy Promotion Committee is sponsoring the “Saw Cow” design contest for all 4-H and FFA clubs/chapters. Use your creativity to convert a sawhorse into a “Saw Cow”. Your cow will need a head, body, udder, and a tail to make it look like a Wisconsin dairy cow. This year's theme is:

All “Saw Cows” (one per 4-H club / FFA chapter) must pre-register (form below) and be at the fairgrounds Fine Arts Building by WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 7, 4:00 p.m. They will be judged before the cat show. Once judged the “cows” will be placed around the livestock / 4-H exhibitor buildings for the public to enjoy. Saw Cows will be released on Sunday at 4:00 p.m. SAW COWS NEED TO BE WEATHERPROOF, AS THEY WILL

BE DISPLAYED OUTSIDE.

Each club entering a “Saw Cow” will receive a $25.00 just for entering. The winning “Saw Cow” entry will receive $50.00; and the runner up “Saw Cow” will receive $35.00

For more information please contact Maryanne Olson (715-743-3569).

worth of dairy products each year. Clark County Dairy farmers produce about 1.3 billion pounds of milk each
