Vermont 4-H dairy club members from six counties had an opportunity to show the dairy cows and calves raised through their 4-H projects at the Multi-County 4-H Dairy Show held July 12 at Shelburne Farms. The 4-H’ers competed both in fitting and showmanship and conformation classes. In fitting and showmanship, the judge evaluates how well each exhibitor presents and handles his or her animal in the show ring. Classes are arranged according to the age of the individual. In conformation, arranged by age and breed of animal, the animals are judged on appearance, physical structure and overall condition.
Shelby Biasini of Morrisville, who competed in the senior division for age 14 and older, was named the Senior Fitting and Showmanship Champion. Her sister, Adele, was the Intermediate Fitting and Showmanship Champion for competitors age 11 to 13. Hillary Mitchell won in the Seniors (age 14) division.
