Youth learn to evaluate beef, sheep, swine and goats based on a set of visual appraisal points, which they learn through the teaching of volunteer leaders. Livestock judging includes a competition factor that provides the ultimate hands on approach to applying what the youth has learned in the classroom to a judging competition. They apply all of the life skills they have learned in one setting, making a decision and defending it through oral reasoning or question recall. The participants’ goals are to align their decisions of evaluating four animals as close to the officials’ placing as possible.<\/span> <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n 4-H Livestock Skill-a-Thon Information<\/span><\/strong><\/span> <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Livestock Skill-a-thon provides youth an opportunity to blend the knowledge they learn in the classroom with the hands-on skills they are learning from the care and exhibition of their animals, into one activity. Youth gain a comprehensive knowedge about animal science topics such as breeds of livestock, external parts, wholesale cuts, equipment identification, feed identification, quality assurance and evaluation. For senior members it includes additional stations on meat science, wool evaluations and reproduction. This fun competition is completed as a team of youth that work together relaying their information they have learned, along with completing an application scenario in a group think process.<\/span> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Showcase Showdown<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n June 21-23, 2022 <\/strong><\/span>
