We kicked off Dairy Month a day early yesterday with a whole lot of dairy. Beginning the day with our own local 4H club's annual 4H Project Workshop and Chicken BBQ.
June kicks off Dairy Month and we have an entire month+ of dairy related excitement to come! My kids are eager to show their dairy heifers at our local fair in a few weeks, hope to see many of you there!
The workshops are held to help instruct 4H members how to show or just to practice showing different animal breeds at the local fair. Non 4H members are also encouraged to come out and learn and try handling the animals as well. Fun for all.
In the photo above, Paige is practicing her Showmanship techniques in the ring with her cousin's Jersey dairy cow, Ruby.
Many of the kids attending, eagerly awaited their turn to participate.
(Thanks Jenny for the cute photo below)
We also had a beef cow workshop, which is completely different than showing a dairy cow.
A rabbit, cavy and poultry workshop....
(Two additional photos by Jenny, thank you!)
Much was learned about showing swine as well. The beach balls doubled for the actual live animal in the swine workshop. So much fun!
Appetites were on fire after the workshops concluded, so after washing up we enjoyed a fabulous chicken BBQ paired with plenty of Clover Stornetta milk and Three Twins Ice Cream..
