Report from the 4-H Dairy Club

submitted by Makenna Raistrick, Dundas Dairy Club

Our first and second meetings were held on April 8 at Fawcett View Farms for the Ready, set, show. We had different seminars such as clipping, showmanship, judging and a few guest speakers.

The third meeting was on April 18 at Scheepers Farm outside of Winchester. At this meeting, we discussed what we should look for in our show calf. We also learned how to prepare and give proper reasons for judging night that is coming up. After the meeting, we enjoyed a snack.

The fourth meeting was held on May 23 at Velthuis Farms in Mountain. Here, we learned how to wash our show calves, and were split up into groups to practice. We had guest speaker Phyllis McMaster to give us tips and tricks on how to judge hay. We also judged a class of Holstein calves.

Our next meeting is being held on June 12, 2023.

Summer health kick-off tips

Healthy Hydration

Fluids are absolutely necessary for our bodies to function properly. Fluids help move nutrients and waste through our bodies, keep blood pressure normal and control body temperature. Fluids also help protect and cushion our joints and organs. When we get busy, it can be easy for us to forget to drink enough fluids. This can put us at risk of becoming dehydrated, especially during warmer weather.

To help stay hydrated, make water your drink of choice. Keep a reusable water bottle with you throughout the day, whether you’re at work, school or play. Add herbs, fruit and vegetables for flavour. Enjoy other fluids like white milk or unsweetened fortified soy beverage. For adults, contrary to popular belief, decaffeinated coffee or tea also helps us stay hydrated. Save drinks like juice, pop, store-bought iced tea, lemonade and other fruit drinks for an occasional choice as they are higher in sugar and can take the place of healthier options. Remember to drink more in hot weather and when you are active.

Easy Summer Snack and Meal Ideas

If schedules change during the summer months, it can be difficult to stick to a routine. One tip is to continue eating regular meals and snacks throughout the day. For breakfast, when you’re on-the-go and not feeing hungry, start the day with something small like a piece of fruit or yogurt and then have something larger, like whole grain
