Raising a junior dairy project is a great way to learn more about the dairy industry as well as animal nutrition, health, reproduction, and milk production. 4-H and FFA programs offer many opportunities for youth who are interested in dairy cattle. Competitions such as junior dairy cattle shows allow youngsters to raise a dairy animal and show it at various shows from a local to national level.

Other contests such as dairy judging and dairy products contest are a great way learn about dairy cattle and dairy products while having a great time and meeting new friends.
