The CREAM program at UVM has returned to
showing their purebred cattle
this summer, and the summer CREAM 2009 students did an outstanding job
preparing a top show string, with the help of Doug Watkin, CREAM
herds person, and Rachel
Cadwallader-Staub, UVM class of 2010.
Addison County Fair and Field Days was held from Wednesday, August 5th
to Saturday, August 8th. The trip to Field Days included CREAMers
bringing 9 heifers that the students had been training since early
July. The CREAMers also created a barn display describing and promoting
the program.

The students appreciated support that came from Rachel and
Doug as well
as Dave Bartholomew, UVM class
of 2003, Joe Allen, UVM class
of 2003,
and Dr. Joe Klopfenstein,
CREAM herd veterinarian. Another highlight of
the show was that a UVM bred Jersey cow, UVM latola Serenity-ET, now
owned and shown by Joe Allen
was judged supreme champion of all cattle
at the show. Plans are underway for CREAM to show cattle at the
Champlain Valley Fair from September 3 to 7.Last modified September 02 2009 11:36 AM
