Kansas 4-H Livestock Sweepstakes
The 2018 Kansas 4-H Livestock Sweepstakes will be held August 18-19 on the K-State campus in Manhattan, KS. The 4-H Livestock Sweepstakes event includes the state 4-H livestock judging contest, meat judging contest, livestock skillathon, and livestock quiz bowl. The members who will represent Kansas at the national 4-H contest for each of these events will be selected during the livestock sweepstakes weekend. Members are invited to participate in as many or as few of the activities as they would like. So, a 4-H'er is welcome to only participate in the livestock judging contest, or compete in all four of the contests provided, as approved by the local Extension Unit. Contestants in all events must register through their local extension office by the entry deadline.
The deadline to enter will be August 1. All entries must be made by the local Extension Office using Cvent. Rules and the Coach's Guide are posted on the Youth Livestock Program website (www.asi.k-state.edu/research-and-extension/youth-programs), under "4-H Livestock Sweepstakes". Entry information will be released to extension offices by July 1. For more information, contact Lexie Hayes at adhayes@ksu.edu.
