The absolutely "dairy" best experience of my life

Topic: Leadership

By Paul Hanebutt

These past few months have been nothing short of amazing for my dairy judging experience. I had the opportunity to be a part of the North Dakota 4-H dairy judging team and competed at the National 4-H Dairy Judging Contest during the World Dairy Expo in Madison, Wisconsin. The contest took place on September 27^th, but the road to get there has made it a year I will never forget.

It all started back in May when the team and I began practicing for the state dairy judging contest in Fargo. I must give credit to my FFA advisor, Mr. Feiring for giving me advice and guidance to join the dairy judging event. Without him, I would not be in the position I am today. With the 4-H and FFA contest being at the same time I was able to represent two teams, the New Salem FFA chapter and the Morton County 4-H team.
