Youth participate in livestock skill-a-thon

0

On July 7 at the Junior Fair Building, 400 Junior Fair youth participated in the Livestock Skill-a-thon.

Youth were able to compete in eight different animal species, including beef, dairy, goats, horses,
poultry, rabbits, sheep, and swine. Each skill-a-thon quizzed members on their knowledge of the specie
including breeds, parts, medication, feed, and structure.
The skill-a-thon contest is divided into divisions; Senior, for those 14 and over; and Junior, for 13 and
younger members. The skill-a-thon is one of the four or five components of the champion project within
each species. The other four are interview judging, judging and showmanship at the fair, and rate of
gain for some species. Skill-a-thon and Champion project results will be formally announced during the
Showmanship Sweep-stakes contest on Aug 9.
