Dairy Cattle Judging Team seeks support

Submitted by Royce Thornton, thornton.5@osu.edu

Hello ATI Colleagues and Friends:
   
   As a result of the second-place finish at World Dairy Expo, the 2021 ATI Dairy Cattle Judging Team has been invited to participate in the International Dairy Cattle Judging tour to Scotland and Ireland to judge at the Royal Highland Show in Scotland and the Clonmel Show in Ireland. The trip is June 22 through July 4. Students who will be traveling to Europe are Megan Raudebaugh (Danville, OH), Rachel Sherman (Sunbury, OH), Rebecca Sprang (Big Prairie, OH), and Marissa Topp (New Bremen, OH). Fortunately, I will be able to go with them as their coach and advisor.
   
   The challenge is raising the $25,000 necessary to participate in the International Dairy Cattle Judging Tour. The team is using an Ohio State University “crowd funder” platform called Buckeye Funder to raise the remaining 50% of the funds. Please consider donating to the ATI Dairy Cattle Judging Team. A gift of any amount would help the students and be greatly appreciated. Here is the link to the Buckeye Funder https://buckeyefunder.osu.edu/project/31411 for donations. The Buckeye Funder closes on May 30. Please share the information and opportunity.
   
   I want to express my gratitude for your support of the Ohio State ATI Intercollegiate Dairy Cattle Judging Team.
   
   Thanks,
   
   Royce
