FFA Dairy Cattle Team to Nationals
The Dickinson FFA club is proud to announce that our dairy cattle evaluation team won state in Fargo on June June 4th, 2024. The team consisted of (Left to Right) Logan Tyler, Ian Dorhman, Ryder Keck, and Shaylynn Ziman. With the help from Colbey Steeke (Left) and Kay Poland (Right) this team of bright individuals were able to win and now are able to go onto a national level of competition in Indianapolis, Indiana this month. What is Cattle Evaluation you may be asking. Well Dairy Cattle Evaluation is a process of placing dairy cattle in order from most desirable to least based on milk productivity and longevity. We are very proud of this team and wish them the best of luck at nationals this month.
