Abstract
  • The dairy cow project may be a new project for you or a continuation of a calf and yearling project. This advanced dairy project will be interesting and provide many challenging experiences. The dairy cow project is Unit III of the four-unit dairy project. Unit I The Calf is suggested for younger 4-H club members, and a 6-month record is recommended. Unit II The Yearling Heifer is preferably a continuation of Unit I, although 4-H members may start with Unit I or Unit II. This unit, Unit III The Cow, is a continuation of your previous dairy projects. Unit IV - 4-H Dairy Science is an advanced unit that 4-H'ers may study with or without a project animal. Your 4-H dairy cow project will be a learning experience that will demand a lot of hard work. How you develop this unit of your dairy project depends somewhat on your home situation. If you live on a dairy farm and have a commercial market for milk, your project cow will probably be fed and housed with the family herd. You may wish to develop your own dairy herd from your foundation animal. However, if your family has only enough land to raise a few dairy animals, you may use your dairy cow to produce milk for the family. The care and management of a dairy cow will differ under these two situations.
