Local youth participate in Dairy Quiz Bowl
Forty youth participated in
the virtual 2021 Georgia 4-H
Dairy Quiz Bowl supported
by The Georgia Dairy Youth
Foundation and Milk Check-
Off.
Youth participating in the
quiz bowl receive a better
knowledge of dairy-related
topics and learn to demonstrate
that knowledge in a competi
tive and thought-stimulating
environment as well as receive
important life skills, such as
confidence, independence and
compassion. They also have the
opportunity to strengthen their
decision-making and leader
ship skills in an environment
which allows contribution to
a group effort, encouraging
teamwork and collaboration
with a diverse group of peers.
“Every year that I work with
this contest, I'm astounded by
the depth and breadth of knowl
edge of our young people in the
state, “said Dr. Jillian Bohlen,
UGA Dairy Science Special
ist. “The youth this year came
to the contest not only with
understanding of the dairy in
dustry but with enthusiasm for
the competition. A hard-fought
double elimination event, they
thought, collaborated, buzzed,
laughed and made a great 2021
State Dairy Quiz Bowl compe
tition. Congratulations to all
competitors as you should all
be incredibly proud.”
Two divisions of teams com
pete during the quiz bowl, Ju
nior Teams and Senior Teams.
Junior Teams consist of fourth
through eighth grade youth,
and Senior Teams consist of
ninth through 12th grade youth.
Each county was permitted
to enter two teams in each
division. If a team contained
more than four members, the
top three individual scores
were used to establish the
team score. Burke County 4-H
students: Maggie Cunningham,
Macy Doyen, Sara Morgan
Sapp and Emree Williams
won first place in the Junior
competition. The senior team
members included Emmaline
Cunningham, Tony Gray, Abby
Joyner and Holt Sapp, who
were awarded second place
after five hours and five rounds
of play.
Senior competitors were
given one attempt to complete
a 100-question multiple choice
and fill in the blank test before
the contest in a limited time
frame to test their knowledge
on dairy nutrition, calf manage
ment, parlor management and
reproduction as well as current
events and statistics within the
dairy industry.
A team plaque will be pre
sented to the First Place Junior
and Senior Teams. The winning
Senior team will also represent
Georgia at the North American
Invitational 4-H Dairy Quiz
Bowl Contest in November
2021, in Louisville, Ky.
Anyone interested in volun
teering or who would like more
information about 4-H, should
contact the Burke County Ex
tension Office at 706.554.2119
or uge3033@uga.edu.
