The Atherton Tableland Illawarra Club Calf Day was held at the conclusion of the Educational Dairy Camp which was generously supported financially by both the Qld Branch and the Federal Council of the Illawarra Cattle Society of Australia. There were 65 camp participants, 36 of whom either provided their own or requested to work with Illawarra calves. The children ranged in age from 7 to 17 years and spent the four days working extensively with their calf. They were taught parading, clipping and judging skills along with anatomy of a cow, care of a young calf, microphone usage, personal deportment, Quad bike safety and many other relevant topics. Our feedback from both Participants and parents has been extremely positive. Each of the participants of the Camp paraded their animals for judging at the Calf Day.
