by Dr. Jim Gilmore Dairy Cattle Judging Coach, University of
Vermont
Two classes of cows are presented here for you to judge. Both
classes are Holsteins from the CREAM (Cooperative for Real Education
in Agricultural Management) student-run registered Holstein herd at the
University of Vermont. Class 1 is a group of 3 and 4 year olds from CREAM
in
April, 1993. Class 2 is a group of 2 year olds from CREAM in December,
1994. Four views of each cow are presented first, one cow at a time, for
your evaluation (Evaluate). Next, all 4 cows are shown together (View).
To finish preparing
your reasons, compare cows (Compare). Use the placing screen (Placing)
to look at the class in the order you placed them. If you have a smaller
screen use the screen for 3 cows. The "Official" Site contains my
evaluation of the cows, and my placing and reasons for the class
(Official). If you have time, visit the CREAM web site for information a
bout CREAM at the University of Vermont - a very unique
educational program...a good herd of cows...and a great team of young
leaders!
