Dairy shows and events

We encourage all members to participate in the many shows and events that are put on in Weld and Larimer County. We also try to schedule field trips and guest speakers in the area. These are great ways for members to show that they have learned and to learn from older members. Field trips provide additional information on herdsmanship, nutrition and care of our animals.
