Dairy Cattle Department - Welcome!
The Dairy Cattle Department Committee members are happy to have you visit us - both on the web and at the Fair.
We volunteer each year to help children and adults show their cattle. Everyone loves to see the animlas; from the little ones just a few months old to the Grand Champions. Visiting the animal barns is fun and educational.
Please feel free to take a look below at the categories we generally have to show. When at the Fair, you will find us lower-fairgrounds, in the Cow Palace.
If you are considering sharing your cattle with us, to be sure your entry goes smoothly, please read the our Entry Information below for categories and entry rules. Then check out the deadlines to understand which deadlines will apply to your entries.
We are looking forward to seeing you and your 2010 entry!
