UMass 4-H is inviting Maine 4-H members to participate in two weekend workshops for\u00a0animal and veterinary science.
\n
\n<\/strong>The\u00a0 Explore Vet Science will take place on Saturday, June 14 th and Sunday, June 15th at the UMASS Farm facilities in Hadley, MA. Participants will get hands-on animal experience, working with UMASS faculty and staff, to learn about the work of the veterinarian and career opportunities in animal and veterinary science. There will be an overnight dorm option available. This program is for youth ages 13-18.<\/p>\n

The Animal Science Cattle Academy will take place on Friday, June 20th through Sunday, June 22nd at the Tri-County Fairgrounds in Northampton, MA. This event is for any 4-Her with a dairy, beef, or working steer project. Participants will learn fitting, showing, and other aspects of their project from several experts from across the northeast! Youth are\u00a0invited to bring their projects to the academy. However, we may have a local dairy farm to provide dairy heifers this year!<\/p>\n

A registration form will be sent out once schedules are finalized for both events. Cost and other program information will be provided with registration.
