Udderly Amazing State Virtual Dairy Club

Author: Larissa Tucker

Planning Unit: Animal and Food Sciences

Major Program: Agriculture

Outcome: Initial Outcome

With COVID-19 restrictions still in place it was decided to help youth and volunteers to keep their learning of the dairy industry going by offering a state wide virtual 4-H Dairy Club.  One of the challenges for several 4-H’ers in the dairy project is that they are spread across the state.  Lots of Kentucky 4-H’ers attend state wide educational events to receive their livestock educational hours.  Those all had to be cancelled for most of the program year.  The Metcalfe County 4-H Youth Development agent and the Extension Associate for Dairy Youth hosted the state wide club.  Over 10 sessions were offered to the participants.  There were thirty participants from fifteen counties.  Sessions were held on a variety of topics including breeds of dairy cattle, milk manufacturing, dairy judging, dairy product nutrition and different dairy systems.  Plans are to continue these virtual meeting for the future.
