Maryland 4-H
roundup held
COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Ap
proximately 100 teen-agers gamed
practical experience as meat
graders last week during the third
biennial Maryland 4-H Livestock
- Roundup. The event was held
Wednesday and Thursday at the
Carroll County Agricultural Center
on the west edge of Westminster.
Activities began Wednesday
morning (July 1) at the Carroll
county fairground with in
structional and practical phases of
traditional livestock judging as
practiced in the show-ring at
county and state fairs.
By Thursday noon, the animals
were slaughtered; and roundup
participants could check their
scorecards to see how actual
rankings compared with live
animal estimations from the
previous day.
Meanwhile, the 4-H members
participated in a meats iden
tification workshop on Wednesday
afternoon and learned how to
determine the position of primal
cuts on live animals.
Their Wednesday evening
program featured a bluegrass
band, cattle-cutting and sheep dog
demonstrations, a watermelon
feast, and team competition by
districts in an “Almost Anything
Goes” livestock fun jamboree.
The Wednesday afternoon
learning experience was followed
up on Thursday morning with a
meats identification contest in the
Exhibit building at the county
fairground.
Then the scene shifted miles
south on highway 32 to Bullock’s
Country Meats near Smallwood.
There the 4-H participants toured
the livestock slaughtering plant
and were treated to a steak lunch
at the adjoining Bullock’s Beet
House.
They spent much ot Thursday
afternoon as apprentice meat
graders, donned in helmets and
white coats. For this "graduation
exercise,” then 4-H participants
evaluated beet, sheep and swine
carcasses from Wednesday
morning’s live animal judging.
Since its inception in 1977, the
Maryland 4-H Livestock Roundup
has been coordinated by Dr.
Norman G. Smith, a state 4-H
Extension program leader at the
University of Maryland.
Several members ot the
university’s animal science faculty
and Extension staft at the College
Park campus again assisted with
the Roundup, along with some
county Extension 4-H agents and
an Extension agricultural science
agent.
Also playing key roles this year
were members of a statewide 4-H
livestock and meats advisory
committee. This committee in
cluded 20 adult volunteer county 4-
H livestock leaders.
