Dairy

Members learn about inheritance factors in dairy cattle, how milk is produced, fitting and showing and marketing dairy products. Training includes selecting dairy cattle; care of young calves; equipment for feeding and care of cattle; treatment of common diseases, ailments and insect pests; keeping records; and fitting and showmanship techniques. A young or inexperienced member should begin by raising a heifer calf.

In succeeding years they may continue to raise this calf as a yearling or two-year old project as well as starting with a new calf each year. In this way, a senior member eventually has animals for a Dairy Herd project.
