Trail to Better Dairying

$9.95

Trail to Better Dairying
In the 1940s there was a shortage of milk and quality dairy cattle in Hancock County, Maine.
To remedy this, Maine’s first county- wide 4-H club was born. Ralph Corbett of the
University of Maine Extension Service provided calves for each of the children in the club.
This film was made to document this groundbreaking first year. The children
show off their progress and their calves in visits to each of their homes. It also explains
the proper care and feeding of young dairy stock. Their efforts are rewarded at the
1946 Blue Hill Fair and at their end-of-the- year banquet at the Trenton Lobster Pound.
