Students interested in showing dairy cattle through the FFA program will have an opportunity to learn more about joining the Chattooga County Dairy Show Team this week.

The award-winning team is hosting a Dairy Showing Interest Meeting on Thursday, October 15, at 6 p.m. in the agriculture classroom at Summerville Middle School.

The meeting is intended for students interested in showing a dairy heifer as part of the FFA program.

Organizers say attendance at Thursday’s meeting is mandatory for students who want to sign up for dairy showing. Students must also be members of either the Summerville Middle School FFA or Chattooga High School FFA to participate.

The Chattooga County Dairy Show Team provides students with opportunities to gain hands-on experience working with livestock while developing responsibility, agricultural knowledge and animal-showing skills.

Those attending the meeting should pull to the left of the Summerville Middle School parking lot and follow the gravel driveway to the back of the school to reach the agriculture classroom.
