2019 Heifer Contest – Win a Jersey heifer!

HEAR ONE! HEAR ALL!  

We’re doing it again! A contest!

What do you win?

In honor of June Dairy Month, and because we have been BLESSED with an abundance of heifer calves, we would like to celebrate farming and dairy farmers by offering up a registered Jersey heifer calf, Spirited Rose Virtuoso Ria, to the winner of the contest.

Little Miss Ria, born 6-2-2019 to SPIRITED ROSE SAMSON’S ROSITA

All you have to do is complete the following tasks:

 

1. Fill out and email us a heifer Application Form (Click here for form)

2. Submit your contest entry:

This year’s contest is all about celebrating the farming lifestyle. In this modern era of low pricing for farm products, high cost of production and high cost of living, along with attacks from those that do not understand or care to learn about the “why’s” of farming, farmers of all types are struggling and feeling under-appreciated.

Your entry can be anything that illustrates something positive about farming. The entry can be funny, serious, sad, heartwarming, etc. All we ask is that the entry be something to highlight the benefits of farming. Why should farmers be appreciated? Why is farming vital to society?

The sky is the limit! Here are some ideas for your entry:

• An essay or short story
• A farm design or quote on wood using modern calligraphy
• A metal fabricated art piece or sign
• A video, photograph, website, or PowerPoint presentation
• Your own recipe using dairy or farm-grown products
• A project to educate the public about farming
• A plan or concept for creating a more sustainable farm and/or ideas to improve the national farming picture
• Or, your own unique idea. 🙂

3. Extra credit, for those that are so excited they want to do a little bit more: Post a decent, relevant comment somewhere on our website.

Email your entry to us. For physical entries, take a photo of the entry to submit. You may submit one photo of you with your entry and a second photo of just the entry to be displayed on our website.

Your entry will be posted on our website for the public to see. We feel that it is important to ask if those entering the contest are willing to have their stories posted to the public.  (Please note your preference in your email.)
