Youth in grades 4-12 are invited to test their beef and swine knowledge in a quiz bowl at the local Sioux, Lyon, Osceola, and O’Brien County Fairs.
Participants will be challenged on their knowledge of animal breeds, meat cuts, feedstuffs, livestock equipment, and more.
“County fairs are all about showcasing the hard work and knowledge of our 4-H and FFA members,” said Cheryl Heronemus, regional director with ISU Extension and Outreach in Northwest Iowa. “This quiz bowl, or skill-a-thon if you will, is just one more way youth can learn and share their knowledge.”
Heronemus shared that the quiz bowl will cover beef and swine this year, with plans to focus on other species next year. The event is free and open to all youth that have completed 4th through 12th grade. 4-H or FFA membership is not required.
