Posted by  //  March 29, 2011  //  News

The annual South Central New York District 4-H Quiz Dairy and Horse Bowls was held Saturday, March 19, 2011 at the Chenango Forks Elementary School in Broome County.  The district is comprised of nine counties including Cortland, Broome, Delaware, Chemung, Tompkins, Chenango, Otsego, Tioga and Schuyler. People who love horses and want to compete in shows and races may need to work with professionals and even learn more through All About Horses articles.

The quiz bowl contest consists of teams of 4-H individuals that are asked questions on any topic related to the dairy and horse animals, including building the right installations for these animals, using sources like Horse menage construction services and more. Questions on health care, nutrition, management and breeds are all included.  The contest is then conducted with 3 phases; individual questions, team questions, and then the toss up or “fastest finger” round.
