Yesterday, we sent a bunch of new faces, led by two returning veterans, to the Virginia State Fair. They completed in a Dairy Science CDE where the identified dairy equipment, cattle equipment, dairy products, feed ration components, judged dairy cattle, took an exam, analyzed and calculated dairy herd data. 219 students from across the state participated in this event hosted by Virginia Cooperative Extension Agents and Virginia FFA. We have enjoyed helping them prepare for this event and welcome them into the herd! Afterwards everyone enjoyed eating unique foods, rode some rides and browsed through the exhibits.
