Outcome: Initial Outcome

The 2021 State 4-H Livestock Judging Contest was a success. 100 total contestants were in participation at the Madison County Fairgrounds for the event. The contest provided a sense of normalcy for youth who have missed out on many in person events over the past year. Around 30 adult volunteers were in participation and helped make the contest a huge success. The contest is one of a kind that helps youth develop soft skills such as (but not limited to): communication, work ethic, responsibility, and accountability.
