Livestock Quiz Bowl Team Takes Fourth In The Nation

The Illinois State 4-H Livestock Quiz Bowl Team was named fourth in the nation at the National 4-H Livestock Quiz Bowl Contest held in Louisville, KY.  The competition took place during the North American Livestock Exposition. The Livestock Quiz Bowl functions like a traditional quiz bowl, but all questions are focused on testing youth livestock knowledge.  Teams compete throughout seven rounds and amass points by answering questions correctly.  

 

The team consists of five 4-H members throughout Illinois, including our Christian County 4-H member Cole Paulek.  Youth qualify for national competition after competing at the state level during the Illinois State Fair.  The contest requires many hours of dedicated learning by participating youth and a good understanding of the livestock industry. 

 

Competing at this level helps teach youth the value of hard work and prepares them for future studies in animal sciences. 

 

The Illinois 4-H Foundation provides support for this program.
