The following message is from Bernadette (Bernie) O’Rourke, Extension Livestock Specialist:
“Find below the 2023 program offerings from the Wisconsin Youth Livestock Program. Find attached social media graphics for your use. A post will go out on social media through the social media channels in my email signature. Feel free to like, follow and share posts. Please share this information to any and all interested youth and adults in the beef, sheep, swine and meat goat areas.
Programming includes 3 virtual animal sciences sessions. First one is January 9th. We will be offering tours of the new Meat Science Building on 3 designated dates only. We will host a carcass judges training for those that want to judge carcass shows. 4-H Meats Judging and 4-H State Quiz Bowl and Skillathon are scheduled as well. Please click on the links for more information on program offerings and how to sign up. Contact Bernie O’Rourke at borourke2@wisc.edu with any questions.
These make great educational programming opportunities for all youth and those that exhibit at fairs.
Have a great holiday season and stay safe and warm these next few days!”
