We then went into the house where we discussed the proper and improper ways of dehorning and what equipment was to be used. The next main topic of interest was the "Reach for the Top" competition with our team of Kim •Rintoul, Cathy Dow, Paul and Steve Coultes. Along with this on our minds we had the demonstration competi- tion coming up in Clinton. Since then we had practice for both. The Reach for the Tbp which was held. in Brussels on July 30 brought our team out, losing only by 15 points to the Senior Dairy Management team which went on to competein the county finals.
