The Miss Q Contest is sponsored by AgSource Cooperative Services and is open to all 4-H and FFA junior exhibitors enrolled in the dairy project with registered or grade cows. Eligible animals must be on a processed DHI testing program. Cows must be identified with an official number. Classes are based on lactation numbers (lactation 1, lactation 2, lactation 3, and lactation 4 and older). Entries must be accompanied by either an udder health report or an individual cow record at check-in. The animal in each class with the lowest linear score will be declared the winner (minimum of 2 tests). Each exhibitor can only win one Miss Q lactation group. For more information on the Miss Q Contest contact your local AgSource DHI Field Technician or Regional Sales Manager.
