DAIRY JUDGING IS CONTINUING! 
(This is what Morgynne and Kyndall participated in last year)

Keith Maxey: I wanted to let you know that I’ve received approval from CSU to go ahead with the Colorado 4-H Dairy Judging program.  It will be modified a little…the first two sessions will be virtual, via Zoom videoconference. After that we will have live animal workouts at dairy farms and then a state contest.  At this point I’m not sure about a senior team to a national level contest this fall as I’ve not heard whether those events will be held or not.
 
I don’t have the dairies all lined up yet, but here is what I anticipate the schedule to be:
 
                June 11 – Zoom video conference 10:00 – 11:00 a.m.
                June 18 – Zoom video conference 10:00 – 11:00 a.m.
                June 25 – Live animal workout, Carpio Dairy, 9:30 – 12:00 noon
                July 2 – Live animal workout, 9:30 – 12:00 noon
                July 9 – Live animal workout, 9:30 – 12:00 noon
                July 16 – Live animal workout, 9:30 – 12:00 noon
                July 23 – State Contest, 8:30 – 2:00 p.m.
 
There are some procedures that we will have to follow, including having youth and volunteers sign waivers prior to participating (in the face-to-face workouts).  I will explain all of that on the first Zoom meeting on June 11.
 
I’m excited to be able to offer the judging program and I hope you will encourage your members to participate.  I will be asking participants to RSVP their participation in the program. At that time, I will share the Zoom link with them.  Let me know if you have any questions.
