Livestock Programs have always had a strong appeal to Youth across the Commonwealth. In recent years the Livestock Skillathon Contest has seen a resurgence of interest. Continuing the upward path of participants each year, the 2020 contest (held on February 22 in Bowling Green, KY.) saw an increase of 30 contestants. The grand total of contestants for the 2020 contest came to 250 individuals. Livestock Skillathon Contests provide an educational avenue for youth to express their competitive spirit. With the increasing demand for students with practical Animal Science knowledge, Livestock Skillathon Contests deliver the basic tools to many youth across the state of Kentucky. Sparking a young contestant’s interest in basic Animal Science curriculum, will only expand the need for more Animal Science related youth programs and contests.
