2016 Alternate District Dairy Judging
4-H Contest
Because of major scheduling conflicts with many 4-H dairy participants and the 3 dates that were set for Area Animal Science Days, a 4th event for DAIRY CATTLE JUDGING ONLY has been scheduled to be held on June 21st in Portage, WI at the Columbia County Fairgrounds. This event will not be hosted by Columbia County, but will be hosted by the UWEX Specialist, Beth Heinze, and the Department of Dairy Science at UW Madison.
This event will follow the same dairy judging contest rules as those that are used for Area Animal Science Days and will serve as a qualifying contest for the State 4-H Dairy Judging Contest. The rules can be found at
*Please note that this is not an official Area Animal Science Day as this event will only serve dairy cattle judging and no other species
**It is important to remember that this extra contest is a one-time occurrence due to significant number of participants who were affected by the scheduled AASD dates. Although we strive to be inclusive, it is not possible to schedule events that will always work with every individual schedule.
