"Dairy judging teaches important professional skills. The cows are just the bait to attract students to learn these skills."
--Dr. Katharine Knowlton
“The real value of participating on a judging team is the gains in problem analysis and solving skills, as well as the teamwork, self-discipline, and communication skills that students experience. These skills and characteristics are highly valued by virtually all employers and quickly enable these students to progress into leadership positions.”
--Dr. Mike Barnes
