  • Dairy Quiz Bowl Review Questions
    OKLAHOMA 4-H DAIRY QUIZ BOWL Study Questions Revised: January 1, 2000 For more information contact: Dan N. Waldner Extension Dairy Specialist Oklahoma State University Animal Science Department 201 Animal Science Stillwater, OK 74078 (405) 744-6058 [email protected] 1 INTRODUCTION The questions in this database have been compiled and edited to provide a convenient resource for teaching youth about the dairy industry and for training teams for competition. Questions cover all areas of the dairy industry. Subject areas include but are not limited to: agronomy, feeds and feeding, milk quality, herd health, reproduction, genetics, marketing, manufacturing, dairy foods, judging and showing, calf raising and the history of the dairy industry. All areas of dairy production, manufacturing, and marketing are included. Many questions are not limited to the dairy industry in their application; however, they are related in some manner. Questions cover most areas of science. Most of the questions are generic in nature; however, a few are specific to Oklahoma. Questions are placed into 14 categories. Many questions could be placed into more than one category. Classification was based primarily on which category would be the most likely to be used by most individuals. Similar questions may also be seen in more than one category. There are also several variations of the same question. This was intentional to encourage the learning of principles and to reduce the memorization of specific questions. The primary sources of information for the questions in this database are 4-H manuals, extension literature and Hoard's Dairyman magazine, and reference guides, and publications of the American Dairy Association and Dairy Council.

  • Dallas--With the Quiz Bowl Team (1995)
    Dallas with the Quiz Bowl Team 1995 FRONT: Tom Twait, Aaron Twait, Tom McGreevey, Matt Erpelding BACK: Steve Bormann, Chris Bormann, Charlie Plathe [Everyone is very much of his era, with either buzzed or gelled hair.] [UPDATE: September, 2008—As I gradually go back over my old travelogues, I’ll be leaving the original text intact but adding additional comments in boldfaced enclosed in brackets to expand on what was originally said. I’ll also add some additional scanned photos to enhance the original travelogues. The Texas Rangers are playing the Chicago White Sox on ESPN as I write this. No background noise could be more appropriate as I tell the story of my adventures in Dallas with the Golden Bear quiz bowl team. Our team did incredibly well in competition this year. It was my fifth year as a quiz bowl "coach", and there was no question but what this was our best season ever. We had thirty-three different kids playing in games this year (thirteen girls and nineteen boys). All the kids did well, some of them well enough to win trophies. We swept both third and fourth places at a tournament in Eagle Grove, we took second place at Spirit Lake, and we got another third in a regional tournament in the Sioux Falls area. The big news, though, was that the kids won three different championships over the course of the year—at our home tournament at Bishop Garrigan, across town at the Algona PTO Invitational, and at Northeast Hamilton in Blairsburg. That success led me to look into the possibility of taking the kids to a national tournament.
