Six Harrison County 4-H’ers competed in the West Virginia Beef Expo Stockman’s Contest on April 11 at WVU Jackson’s Mill.
In the senior division (14-18 years old), Carver Deaton finished in second place, and Emmy Haddix was 47th. There were 262 individuals competing in the senior division.
During the Stockman’s Contest, participants identified retail cuts of meat, plants, breeds of beef, sheep, swine, and goats, completed a Quality Assurance station, and were tested on their beef industry knowledge. They also placed three classes of cattle based on conformation and grade feeder cattle.
The Harrison County 4-H Stockman’s team was coached by Jennifer Friend, WVU Harrison County Extension Agent, and assisted by Beth Skidmore, WVU Harrison County 4-H Program Assistant. The team and their coaches would like to thank the West Virginia McCray Cattle Company for hosting them for practice.
