Visit a working dairy farm in Dane County! Youth and family members will learn about robotic milking, how to lead a calf, the opportunities in the 4-H Dairy Project and animal nutrition.

No cow, no problem! This event is open to everyone interested in checking out a dairy farm and learning more about dairy cows. Did you know that 4-H youth members who don’t have access to cows can participate in Dairy Quizbowl, Dairy Judging and can even work with and show a managerial animal.  

Youth will rotate through four stations and will be grouped by experience:

• Opportunities in Dairy (State Fair, Judging, Quiz Bowl, County Fair)
• Calves (how to handle/lead a calf)
• Robotic Milking 
• Health & Nutrition

Bonus…participants will enjoy some dairy treats!

The education stations are geared toward youth in grades 3+, but all family members are welcome to attend. Youth in grades K-5 must be accompanied by an adult. Grades 6+ can attend with or without an adult.

Youth in the Dairy Project may use this event to meet their education requirement for the Dane County Fair. Dane County Fair Education Card
