Alamance County 4-H Youth Livestock Team Members L to R: Axton H., Caleb S., Corey S., Elaina L., Madelyn L., Sage R.
Alamance County 4-H has a very active Youth Livestock Team that practices regularly during the summer months to prepare for competition. On July 31st-August 2nd, 2025, six youth attended the State 4-H Livestock Judging, Skillathon and Quiz Bowl Contest in Raleigh, NC. Alamance County 4-H entered one junior (ages 8-10) individual, three intermediate (ages 11-13) individuals and two senior (ages 14-18) individual in the contest. There were 108 judging contestants, 91 skillathon contestants, and 22 teams in quiz bowl (intermediate and senior). This is the Twelfth year that Alamance County 4-H has entered youth into the state contest.
