Harrison County 4-H/FFA Livestock Show Held

The 2021 Harrison County 4-H/FFA Livestock Show
was held at Summit Park on August 28, 2021. 4-H and
FFA youth participated in a livestock skillathon, livestock
show, and showmanship competitions throughout the

The event began with the livestock skillathon. During
the skillathon, youth tested their knowledge about breeds,
animal identification, equipment, quality assurance, meats,
plants, and parts of the animal. Immediately following the
