Just like everything and everywhere else during the pandemic, the 4-H Livestock Skill-a-thon had to make some changes and adaptations in order for youth to compete in 2021.  Once the date had been set for April of 2021, the Morgan County Livestock Leader and Agent scheduled weekly Zoom trainings with participants.   Youth had the opportunity to attend 8 Zoom practices and meetings in order to prepare for the 4-H Livestock Skill-a-thon.  

This event was huge for the Morgan County youth and for the 4-H program because this would be the first 4-H event they had traveled to in over a year!  Even through the mask one could see the smiles and feel a slight sense of normalcy.

Even though the leader and agent didn’t feel as prepared as in past, the senior team still managed to come out in the overall top 10 teams in the state!   They are already looking forward to next year’s competition.
