Minnesota 4-Hers from 87 counties arrived with over 2800 animals at the 2018 “Great Minnesota Get-Together” for this year’s 4-H livestock encampment held August 22nd-26th. Education is integral in the “learn by doing” philosophy of 4-H. As part of the educational component, Minnesota 4-H requires every youth exhibiting an animal to also participate in knowledge tests, skill-a-thons, and personal interviews directly related to the animal species they are exhibiting. Along with interviews, all 4-H youth livestock exhibitors complete the Livestock Quality Assurance (LQA) Training. Through this certification, youth are educated on bio-security, educating the public on the role of livestock, and caring for their animal’s welfare. Other learning opportunities include exhibits featuring the “Science of Animals”, and demonstrations pertaining to the exhibits animal. Read all the results below:
