Clover 4Her tops in dairy judging

York County 4-H senior Amarillo Nivens was the high scoring individual March 6 at the 2015 State Dairy Judging contest.

The Clover High School student has been an active 4-H’er for more than nine years participating in the goat, dairy and horse clubs, as well as the swine project.

More than 80 4-H and FFA members competed March 6 at the T. Ed Garrison Arena in Pendleton. The children were asked to judge four classes of dairy cattle in each of the breeds represented at the Clemson University Spring Dairy Show (Jersey, Brown Swiss, Holstein and Guernsey). Youth must be able to evaluate and rank the animals in each class according to an ideal standard based on breed and type characteristics. Youth must be able to defend their ranking in the form of an oral presentation to the official judge.
