The Illinois Beef Expo has a long standing
tradition of emphasizing youth education. On Feb. 22, youth vied for champion
honors in the Illinois Beef Expo quiz bowl in Springfield. Olivia Claire of
Watseka took top honors in the senior division and Wyatt Claire of Watseka won
the junior division.
The purpose of this event is to promote youth
development and personal growth through increased knowledge of the beef
industry, and to encourage more young beef producers in agriculture while
improving their decision-making abilities. The contest consisted of two phases;
skillathon work stations and management tests. A cumulative total of both
phases determined the winners.
Top Five placings in the Senior Division are as follows:
5th - Katie Miller, Cambridge
4th - Katie Krumholz, Eureka
3rd - Kaylie Huizenga, Morrison
