OUR MISSION: "TO EDUCATE, PROMOTE AND REPRESENT DAIRY PRODUCERS AND FOSTER AN ENVIRONMENT FOR GROWTH OF THE KENTUCKY DAIRY INDUSTRY."
We are dairy farmers, multiple allied industries and professional advisory supporters working together to sustain and grow Kentucky's dairy industry. Dairy farmers work hard every day to provide fresh, wholesome, quality milk and dairy products to consumers. We love our land, the animals in our care and way of life on the farm. Dairy cows are economic generators. The average dairy cow generates over $13,700 in economic ripple effect each year.
The KDDC Goals are:
1. To increase producer profitability 2. To improve dairy farmer's competitiveness
3. To enhance dairy farm families' quality of life 4. To assist in the viability of KY's dairy industry

THE FOURTH ANNUAL KY STATE FAIR JUNIOR DAIRY CHEESE AUCTION
Date: Friday, August 20, 2021
TIME: 6:00 (ish) after Supreme Champion Show
Place: Broadbent Arena
To: Kentucky State Fair Junior Dairy Show Supporters From: Glenn Sageser, Representative for Kentucky Purebred Dairy Cattle Assn.
Last year in 2020, the Cheese Auction at the Kentucky State Fair benefited over 55 of our Juniors. This included the Junior Dairy Show Grand Champions and the First Place dairy cows of the Junior Show in each of the 7 dairy breeds. These Juniors have indicated that most of them are saving this prize money for college. A total of $13,000 was generated through the generous sponsorships of many of you and was distributed to these deserving young people.
At this time, I say Thank You to those of you who contributed to the 2020 Cheese Auction as well as to the Kentucky State Fair Board for allowing us to continue this project and for their support. Special thanks to Eunice Schlappi and KDDC for procurement of the many cheeses that were auctioned and to the cheese processors for their generous contributions.
2021 is an opportunity to get back to normal and make this year’s Cheese auction even bigger. We are asking for your continued support of these tremendous young people. Your contribution can make a difference in their lives. Let’s all dig deep and make this the best year ever. If you have been a sponsor in the past, thank you again. If you have not sponsored these young people previously we encourage you to become a proud sponsor and encourage these Juniors to be optimistic about the future. And remember, NO CONTRIBUTION IS TOO SMALL.
When you settle on a dollar amount that you wish to contribute, please contact:
