SARATOGA COUNTY — Saratoga County 4-H offers a variety of clubs, events and programs to support youths who want to be in the dairy community. This year, two of the 4-H youths have been selected to participate at the national and international level for Dairy Cattle Judging.
Libby Swatling of Clifton Park will be representing New York at the Pennsylvania All-American 4-H Dairy Cattle Judging Contest in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
Blake Wadsworth of Ballston Lake will be representing New York at the North American International Livestock Invitational Youth Dairy Cattle Judging Contest in Louisville, Kentucky.
Together, they represent two of only four participants chosen to represent New York for each contest.
During the Dairy Cattle Judging Contests, competitors are required to evaluate milk production of dairy cows and heifers, evaluate the animals’ structure, evaluate longevity of production and orally justify the placings.
