The Show Team is made up of current and past CREAM students interested in learning how to show dairy cows. The team brings a string of CREAM heifers, bred specifically for their great show genetics, to local shows as a way to get the CREAM herd out into the community, and promote UVM and the Animal Science Department.
Shows that we attend: Addison County Fair and Field Days, Champlain Valley Expo, and the Tunbridge World’s Fair
Team members 2018: Sam Beck, Charlotte Callon, River Gheen-Regouski, Katlyn Guerin, Sam Keum, Charisse Lapointe, Leslie Rivers, Lauren Spendley, and Maureen Whitney

Working with your dairy animal to prepare them for the showring can be very rewarding, and any time spent with your animal can be important to teaching them to present themselves nicely while in the show ring. Check out these sources to learn more about training you and your animal to be a team and have proper showmanship while in the ring.
Dairy judging helps to recognize the beauty and the faults of individual cows to find ways to improve their genetics (and sometimes nutrition) from generation to generation. To learn more about dairy judging check out the following links:
