What better way to celebrate June Dairy Month than to bring a hundred kids together, with one of their show calves, and prepare them for the season of fairs and showing ahead?

Show Like a Pro was this past weekend at the Frederick Fairgrounds! Training touched on setting up fair bedding for their calf, feeding it properly, grooming (giving a great haircut) and show tips! Industry leaders also prepped youth on how to answer questions about their animals at the fair.

The event culminated in a showmanship competition and Maryland Dairy Misses - Carmella Brower, Bailey Myers, and Charlee and Gemma Lewis - were there to support the show, helping with ribbons and awards. Congratulations to Mikayla Derr, Carroll County Dairy Princess, for winning the Fit-Out Competition, and Champion Intermediate Showman title.

A huge thank you to all those who gave of your time for this dairy youth experience.

Sponsor Spotlight

It is fitting to kick off our sponsorship recognition for June Dairy Month with one of the longest dairy farming families in the state of Maryland - Charlie and Judy Iager and family, owners of Maple Lawn Farm and long-time supporters of dairy youth. The family dates back to Charles’s great-great- grandfather, Henry Iager, who purchased 108 acres of farmland in 1839.

Thank you for your support of the Maryland Dairy Princess Program, and the many youth-oriented programs across the United States!

Today is National Cheese Day! Whether it’s a quick snack before running out the door or an appetizer before dinner, cheese is a great source of protein and calcium for all ages!

There's no better time to enjoy cheese than National Cheese Day! You can find cheese at grocery stores near you or even at some local dairy farms!

Alternate Maryland Dairy Princess Madison Thomas's favorite places to buy local cheese are Fawn View Farm or Brooms Bloom Dairy in Harford County!
