On Saturday, April 25, the New York State 4-H Dairy Quiz Bowl Contest took place at Cornell University in Ithaca. 4-H Dairy Quiz Bowl is a jeopardy-like activity organized and held on a local, regional and state level for youth from ages 8 to 19 who have an interest in learning about the dairy industry. This youth dairy event is a contest in which young people have an opportunity to test their knowledge of dairy cattle, dairy products and current issues in the dairy industry.
