BUCKET CALVES
I100010 - Bucket Calf - Bucket calves are defined as orphan or newborn calves; male or female; dairy, beef, or cross; hand fed with a bucket or bottle; selected or purchased between January 1 and June 1 of the current year within two weeks of birth. Calves should be at least 60 days old at fair time. This project is suggested for youths 5-10 years of age. During the class, exhibitors may be evaluated on the following criteria:
- What the exhibitor learned about caring for and raising the calf.
- Fitting and showing according to either beef or dairy guidelines, with emphasis on how much the exhibitor learned and can do without help. However, parental guidance is encouraged.
- The general health of the calf and knowledge of the exhibitor in health-related areas.
- Dairy or beef quality of calf should not be considered since purchase is not made on that basis.
