Annual activities

Every year, the Dairy Club hosts a Dairy Camp for ages 9-17 in early June. Participants get a hands on experience with sessions on showmanship, fitting, judging and oral reasons. The camp is offered at the SDSU Dairy Research and Training Facility. The last day offers participants a mock dairy cattle show highlighting their hard work.

The Dairy Club also participates in several activities on campus including the Ice Cream Social, Hobo Days, Little International, National Ag Day and a Milk Run. Members also enjoy many recreational activities from bowling to ice skating.

Dairy Digest

The Dairy Digest is an annual publication of the Dairy Club. Released at the department scholarship and awards banquet in April, the Digest is an illustrated documentation of Dairy Club, student and departmental activities and achievements throughout the year. Published Dairy Digests are available since 1987.
