The Finger Lakes District 4-H Dairy Cattle Quiz Bowl Contest was held on March 19 at Cornell Cooperative Extension of Ontario County in Canandaigua.
Thirty seven 4-H youth representing Cayuga, Genesee, Ontario, Steuben, Wayne and Yates counties participated. They demonstrated their knowledge of the dairy industry through individual and team competitions in three divisions.
They vied for the opportunity to represent the Finger Lakes District at the New York State 4-H Dairy Quiz Bowl Contest to be held on Saturday, April 30 at Cornell University and at the Novice Invitational to be held on Aug. 25 at the New York State Fair.
These youths earned the highest individual scores and will advance to New York State level 4-H Dairy Cattle Bowl:
Novice:
J. Lawson, C. Minde, K. Hight, Z. Abbott, will be coached by K. Minde
Junior:
A. Bennett, I. Stewart, C. Rogers, E. Maslyn, will be coached by M. Bennett
Senior:
E. Andrew, E. Facer, S. Sullivan, K. Warner, will be coached by C. Andrew
The primary objective of 4-H Dairy Cattle Bowl contests is to provide an opportunity for youth enrolled in a 4-H dairy project to demonstrate their knowledge of dairy-related subject matter in a competitive setting where attitudes of friendliness and fairness prevail. It is hoped these contests will prove to be an educational experience for both participants and spectators.
