Animal Sciences – Dairy

Description

When youth have a passion for animals, the 4-H Dairy Cattle Project provides a great opportunity to explore their interest. From dairy poster contests, judging contests, and visual presentations to showing dairy cattle, 4-H’ers can participate in aspects of the project with or without owning dairy cattle.

The project teaches animal husbandry including selecting, feeding, and managing of dairy cattle. Developing teamwork, responsibility, and decision- making alongside both animals and people is unique to the livestock program experience. Hobbies or careers in animal agriculture enable utilization of these lifelong skills and project mastery.
