PINCKNEYVILLE, Ill.— Livestock and 4-H go hand-in-hand, and many local youth had a chance to put their skills to the test at the livestock quiz bowl. The morning was filled with fun activities as youth were tested on their knowledge of feed, species, equipment, and meat cuts. This competition was a way to stimulate learning in various livestock topics and prepare those that will showcase livestock at the 4-H fairs this summer.
