The Tennessee 4-H Livestock program offers many opportunities for 4-Her's to exhibit beef cattle throughout the state. In addition, youth may participate in livestock judging competitions, skillathon contests, 4-H Project Achievement, and Beef Quiz Bowl. Cannon County 4-H Member, DJ Moore, participated in the Tennessee Junior Livestock Exposition by showing polled Hereford beef cattle. DJ, the son of Don and Angela Moore, had an opportunity to show his grandfather's cattle and David Parker could not have been more proud! This years' Beef Expo took place at Tennessee Livestock Center in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. The beef project assists young people in gaining skills in animal care, nutrition, responsibility, grooming, and showing. DJ came away from the Central Region and State Livestock Shows with several awards and a wonderful experience. Congratulations to DJ for placing 4th in one of his state classes! We are proud of DJ for his hard work and achievement! If you have any questions about the 4-H Program, please call the Cannon County Extension Office at 615-563-2554.
