Save the Date - Kansas 4-H Livestock Sweepstakes August 19-20, 2017!
The 2017 Kansas 4-H Livestock Sweepstakes will be held August 19-20, 2017 in Weber Hall on the K-State campus. Livestock Sweepstakes is an event that includes the state 4-H livestock judging contest, meat judging contest, livestock skillathon, and livestock quiz bowl over the course of a weekend. This is a great opportunity for 4-H members to display their knowledge of the livestock industry in a variety of ways.
The young people who will be representing Kansas 4-H at each of the four national 4-H livestock contests will also be selected during this weekend, through the state contests. Rules and registration information will be distributed to agents and posted to the K-State Youth Livestock Program website (http://www.asi.k-state.edu/research-and-extension/youth-programs/4-h-livestock-sweepstakes.html) by early summer. Please make sure to share this information with any 4-H members, coaches, or project leaders who may be interested. Members are highly encouraged to ask any questions about eligibility prior to the registration deadline. The deadline to register will be August 1, 2017. All 4-H’ers must go through their local Extension Office to register.
