For youth ages 10-18

Missouri Dairy Judging Camp is an exciting event sponsored by University of Missouri Extension. Extension staff, along with former 4-H and collegiate judging team members will provide educational seminars. Participants will be guided through the basics and finer points of judging dairy cattle, with particular emphasis on oral reasons. Campers visit area dairy farms, judge 15-20 classes of dairy cattle, and receive feedback on both judging and oral reasons. The camp is open to all youth ages 8-18 interested in learning more about dairy judging. Camp will be filled on a first come, first serve basis, with a maximum enrollment of 20.

The camp is held in Southwest Missouri. Lodging will be at Quality Inn, 1125 E Daniel Drive, Mount Vernon, MO 65712 and is included in the camp fee. Three to four campers will be placed in each room based upon age and gender. If you would prefer to have your camper in a semi-private room (2 campers) please add $80 to the registration fee. If you require other accommodations, please contact Karla Deaver at 417-466-3102. Registration is released approximately 6 weeks prior to the scheduled event.
