Participating in Dairy Judging provides an excellent opportunity for youth to not only increase their knowledge of evaluating dairy cattle but also develop and hone valuable communication skills that will be useful for a lifetime. This practice is for any youth in grades 3-13. Youth do not need to attend all practices to participate in competitions.

County 4-H teams compete at district dairy judging contests during regional Area Animal Science Days (Locations and Dates TBA) or the chance to attend the State 4-H Dairy Judging Contest. State winners in the senior division go on to represent Wisconsin at the All-American Dairy Show in Harrisburg, PA, World Dairy Expo in Madison, WI, and the North American International Livestock Exposition in Louisville, KY.
