The National FFA Dairy Cattle Evaluation Career Development Event is a
competitive activity that tests the student's ability to select and manage quality dairy cattle.
Event components include six classes of dairy cattle, linear classification of five Holstein cows, a sire selection and dairy management exercise and placing of four dairy animal pedigrees. Each team competed at local and state levels to earn the privilege of representing their home state at the National FFA Convention.
The event is one of many educational activities at the National FFA Convention in which FFA members demonstrate their ability to apply classroom knowledge to real-life situations. The event was held at the Indiana State Fairgrounds in Indianapolis, Ind.
The Dairy Cattle Evaluation Career Development Event is sponsored by GEA WestfaliaSurge, Inc. of Naperville, Illinois and The National FFA Foundation.
