2021 Dairy Quiz Bowl

You don’t need a cow. You don’t need to like milk (though you should REALLY like milk). You don’t need to be taking a dairy project. All you need to compete in the State 4-H Dairy Quiz Bowl Contest is a desire to do it. (You would probably do better if you study, too.) The state contest is Saturday, Mar. 6th at The Water Tower LLC. in Gridley, 411 Gridley Road, Gridley IL. Register between 8 and 8:30.  To participate in the contest, you MUST be present at 8:30am. Contest rounds begin at 8:45 am., and the contest will be completed by 5 p.m.  Please see the resources document for COVID protocol information for this event.

Register with your local Extension office before Feb. 22. Questions will cover all aspects of dairy production and marketing.  Study reference sources include the Illinois 4-H dairy manuals plus Hoard's Dairyman Reference Books, IL Extension Livestock E-Quiz website, Holstein Foundation website, and Virginia 4-H Dairy Quiz Bowl study materials online.

Teams of four may compete, or individuals can be added to other groups to form a team.  The State 4-H Dairy Quiz Bowl team will be selected from the eligible 4-H members participating at this state contest. Youth 15 to 18 are eligible for the national team. For information, contact Derek Nolan at dtnolan@illinois.edu
