The DAT People's Choice Question of the Week:Youth Program?
Providing opportunities for youth to get involved in the dairy industry is important. Minnesota Brown Swiss breeders offer a program that enables 4-Her's to 'lease' a heifer for those 4-Her's that may not have the resources or facilities. Heifers stay on the breeders farm and the 4-Her provides the time and responsibility to care for, train and show the heifer.
University of Missouri Extension recently held their annual 4-H Dairy Cow Camp to educate youth to become dairy leaders.
