New York ranks fourth in total milk production in the U.S., so it’s fitting that there is a large number of youths becoming involved in the industry. The Schoharie County 4-H program has many members that exhibited their fondness and knowledge of the dairy industry at the 4-H dairy show on the Wednesday of the fair.

Despite a challenging day of power outages, many 4-H’ers brought their cows to the fair to show in the showmanship classes as well as the breed classes.

Cassie Menendez judged the show. A recent graduate of SUNY Cobleskill, Menendez was a member of the Dairy Judging Team and showed Holsteins.
