Phoenix Feeds & Nutrition is proud to sponsor the UMaine Dairy Challenge team for the 23rd Annual North American Intercollegiate Dairy Challenge. This year it will take place in Gainesville, Florida, April 6-8, 2025. 🐄✨

Last year, the team joined over 200 students from 37 universities across the U.S. and Canada to compete in this prestigious event. The Dairy Challenge is a two and a half-day competition that enables four-person teams to evaluate a well-managed dairy farm business and then recommend management enhancements to a panel of judges comprised of industry and academic professionals.💡📈

This year’s event promises even more opportunities for learning, networking, and collaboration. We’re thrilled to support the next generation of dairy leaders as they gain invaluable experience and showcase their skills on the national stage.

Join us in cheering on the UMaine team as they prepare for the competition. Best of luck! 🍀🐄
