4-H Dairy

4-H Dairy

St. Lawrence County 4-H Dairy Program offers young people the opportunity to learn about the selection, production, management, evaluation, health and showing of dairy cattle, 4-H members in a dairy project have access to a variety of learning activities giving them a broad perspective of the dairy industry. Participation in dairy quiz bowl, judging clinics and contests, workshops, public presentations, and showing dairy cattle at the Gouverneur- St. Lawrence County Fair provides them with skills and knowledge beyond just caring for a project animal.

Showing dairy cattle can be a fun and rewarding part of the 4-H dairy animal project. Registered animals must be owned by the youth by June 1st of the current year. The dairy non-ownership program was designed to allow youth who do not own dairy cattle the opportunity to lease a dairy animal to show. Dairy cattle identification forms must be turned in to the 4-H Office by June 1st. For information on non-ownership animals, please contact the 4-H office.
