 ANIMART, Inc. will host a beef and dairy cattle fitting and showmanship demonstration for area 4-H and FFA youth at ANIMART in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, on May 11 from 6 to 9:30 p.m. All youth are invited to this complimentary hands-on workshop intended to help learn more about the art and techniques of proper animal care, including grooming and showing that will help them achieve high placings of their 4-H and FFA livestock at summer shows.
The demonstration will feature a hands-on, small group component for youth to get up close with cattle in picking up a clippers and learning the techniques of grooming animals in preparation for the show ring. Beginning at 6 p.m. beef exhibitors, Wayne Keil and Casey Jentz of the ANIMART sales staff will be conducting a beef cattle fitting and showmanship demonstration. At 8 p.m. a dairy cattle fitting and showmanship demonstration will be led by Nick Uglow, nutritionist with Frontier FS Co-op and Shelly Bohn, ANIMART client service representative. Both demonstrations will be given on-site, using live animals. In addition, ANIMART will feature specials on show equipment and a full line of grooming supplies. Complimentary refreshments and snacks will be served for all attendees as well as prizes will be given away. The ANIMART cattle fitting demonstration is also an authorized event for youth to earn points toward their educational component to be eligible to show or sell their animals at county fairs. The workshops will be held at the ANIMART large animal retail store, located at 900 Green Valley Road in Beaver Dam. For additional information on the demonstration, contact ANIMART staff at (800) 255-1181. For beef-specific questions, contact staff member Wayne Keil at extension 2235 and for dairy questions, contact Shelly Bohn at extension 2258. —From ANIMART news release PHOTO Wayne Keil with ANIMART highlights the proper techniques to fit beef cattle that will be a featured component as part of the upcoming ANIMART cattle fitting demonstration for youth on May 11.
