(AP) — The Missouri 4-H Dairy Judging Team is headed to an international competition next year.

Team members Steven Nelson of Grove Spring; Tucker Peterson, of Mountain Grove; and Bailee Whitehead, of Conway, will take part in the 2014 International Dairy Judging Tour of Scotland, England, Wales and Ireland. The tour takes place from June 18 to July 2.

The University of Missouri Extension says in a release it’s the first time a Missouri 4-H dairy judging team has been invited to compete internationally.

The team is working to raise $20,000 to finance the trip.

They were invited because of their high-ranking results from the National 4-H Dairy Judging Contest at World Dairy Expo in October.
