Uma Thurman just showed a spring Holstein calf at the Dutchess County Fair. 🐄🎡

Livestock Hill got a jolt of star power this afternoon at the 180th Dutchess County Fair in Rhinebeck. The Hudson Valley native stepped into the ring, took the strap, and walked a spring Holstein heifer calf like the rest of the exhibitors — same shavings, same judge, same nervous calf energy every one of us knows.

Day One of Camp O is complete. We received our campsites, met our cabin mates and played some field games. The weather also held strong for us to get to our campsites. Looking forward to a great week. We also love catching up with our Lowville Alumni working at Camp O.

A big part of our week at the fair is spent in the Dairy Industry Building’s milking parlor. Students from both the South Lewis FFA and Lowville FFA work together to prepare the parlor each day, making sure everything is set up and ready for exhibitors. Throughout the week, they assist with the daily operation of the facility, gaining valuable hands-on experience in dairy equipment, animal handling, teamwork, responsibility, and customer service. It is one of the most meaningful learning opportunities of the fair, giving students real-world experience while providing an important service to the exhibitors and the dairy industry.
