East Iowa Youth Open Dairy Heifer Show
The goal of this event is to bring together youth from the dairy industry who wish to exhibit their heifers in an early show to gain experience and enjoy the competition. It is the desire of the show committee to provide an event for youth to show at another event and to reward the hard work involved in a dairy project other than the local county fair.
