Reminders: June 1st was the ownership deadline and non-ownership paperwork needed to be submitted to Larissa. Make sure that your papers are correct when they come in from the breed associations. We want to get things correct before State Kentucky State Fair. Let's all celebrate June Dairy Month!

Congratulations to those who participated in the State 4-H Dairy Judging Contest. Special thanks goes to our official judges for the day Andi Cook, David McGlothlin and Brilee Tucker. We could not host this event without all the help from the EKU Meadowbrook Farm crew. Thanks to Jericho Farmhouse for providing our ice cream and DFA for providing milk for our event.
