Join us at Peter Coyne's Farm (W2098 770th Ave., Spring Valley) to learn how to prepare your dairy animals for the show ring. Participants will gain hands-on experience with washing, fitting, and showing techniques to help them get ready for the fair season. Basic feeding practices for the fair will also be discussed.
Youth of all experience levels are encouraged to attend. Rachel and Chandler Kurth will be presenting at the clinic.
