Jersey Cattle Society Young Members Weekend
20th - 22nd August 2004 |
 |
| John Dickenson demonstrates showmanship and handling
techniques. During each group every member acted as a judge
and commented on the techniques of others. |
Young members from as far afield as Northern Ireland, Aberystwyth
and Cornwall descended on Mill Farm, Osberton in Nottinghamshire
for a thoroughly enjoyable weekend when they learnt about the
industry, improved
their stockmanship skills and gave us all great encouragement
that the future of the breed and the industry is in the hands
of highly confident and motivated youngsters.
From a quiz on animal health to identifying feed raw materials
to calculating a balanced ration for the Jersey milking cow,
the young members’ knowledge was tested on the important
issues as well as light hearted topics like a ‘Jumbled
Prefix’ quiz, all of which made the weekend go with a
swing.

prepare a ‘topline’ in readiness for a professional
photo-shoot |
It takes a team of upto six people to get a perfect picture in the
can. Co-ordination, attention to detail, and a great deal
of time are the factors that make for a successful shoot. |
