Oklahoma Beef Advocate Contest for Grades 5th-12th

Fri, 04 Mar 2022 09:26:46 CST

This is a statewide competition open to Oklahoma youth from grades 5th 12th. The 2022 contest will take place on Friday, April 8th, immediately following the Commercial Cattle Grading Scholarship Contest.

Competition: There will be two mock interactions.

1. Media the contestant will participate in a mock media interview. The interviewer will ask pre-determined questions with the option to ask follow-up questions. A panel of judges will observe the interaction for knowledge, articulation, poise and the contestant's ability to explain beef production and present the beef community in a positive manner. Your understanding of some of the general information about how cattle are raised, cared for and good for you will be extremely helpful. The judges will be looking for you to share your story whether you raise cattle or not. Just your knowledge of beef and how it affects your life. You may just like to eat it and that is OK. Then your focus will be on nutrition and how to cook it to a safe temperature for eating. Life ground beef is safe and savory at 165 degrees. Knowing what a beef advocate is will be helpful.

2. Peer A staged conversation between contestant and his/her peer which includes beef production and/or nutrition.   A panel of judges will observe each contestant on their ability to relay to their peers appropriate and accurate information regarding beef community and beef nutrition. The same information above applies here; however, this conversation will be more personal versus what you would say to a reporter. These judges will be looking for more in depth answers and a greater comfort level since you are talking to your friends or their parents.

Junior Contestants: Current grade 5th -8th

Senior Contestants: Current grade 9th-12th
