What:
This clinic will be focusing on teamwork, fitting skills for dairy animals, and a showmanship workshop. Animals are provided. Kids will work in assigned groups of three or four members. Teams will be matched up so there is a mixture of ages and skill levels. Teams will work together to wash their heifer and clip her so she is show-ring ready. We hope you will walk away learning new skills that your can use on your own calf for fair and maybe some new friends! If you need any special accommodations or have food allergies please let us know ahead of time.
