North Carolina's 4-H Dairy Bowl

Department of Animal Science, North Carolina State University, Raleigh 27650

ABSTRACT

Some of the most successful educational programs for 4-H youth include group participation, competition, and entertainment. All of these are elements of the North Carolina 4-H Dairy Bowl. The Dairy Bowl is a quiz contest wherein the questions deal with dairy topics. Teams compete in giving oral answers to questions asked by a moderator. Teams are given credit for correct answers and, in some cases, a penalty for incorrect answers.

Dairy Bowl was introduced in North Carolina in 1974 on a pilot basis. Since that time the activity has grown to four regional elimination contests and a state contest held in conjunction with the North Carolina 4-H Club Congress.

In addition to the organized contests, this activity has been used at club meetings and various junior dairy events as a part of the program. For example, part of the evening program at one district junior dairy show was a match between dairy bowl teams from two neighboring counties. The winning youth team then challenged a team of adults.
