Allegany County 4-H at the District Dairy Bowl

Allegany County 4-H has attended District Dairy Bowl for the past several years. This year the our team consisted of the following 4-H members: Megan Jozwiak (14, Hinsdale), Elana Emerson (14, Cuba), Molly Emerson (17, Cuba), Lily McGovern (17, Belmont), Josh Deichmann (18, Belmont), Michael Deichmann (17, Belmont) , Alyssa Santangelo (17, Cuba), Elizabeth Burrows (18, Cuba), Logan Torrey (11, Angelica), Noah Santangelo (13, Cuba), Kyla Jozwiak (10, Hinsdale), Alexis Deichmann (11, Belmont), Zach Deichmann (14, Belmont), Josie (13, Rushford) and Kimmi Litchner (14, Rushford).

This year’s District contest had a total of six counties participating; Allegany, Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Erie, Niagara and Wyoming County.  There were a total of 20 teams competing at three levels (Novice, Junior Senior).  The Allegany County teams placed as follows:  senior team no. 1 – 9th, senior team no. 2 – 6th, and junior team no. 1 – 7th, and junior team no. 2   - 8th. 

Allegany County had two senior individuals that placed in the top ten.  They were Josh Deichmann placed 4th and Lily McGovern placed 8th.    Josh is eligible to go onto the State Contest at Cornell in April.

We would like to thank the sponsors that helped make this possible for our Dairy 4-H youth.  Thank you to Whitford  L. C. of Wellsville, NY, Emerson Family of Cuba, NY, Dawn Santangelo, Cuba Gold Diggers 4-H Club Leader, Willow Creek Farm of Belmont, NY and Torrey Family Jams and Bakery of Angelica, NY.  Your support is greatly appreciated.

Last, but absolutely not least, 4-H would also like to thank our dedicated volunteer coaches, Nicole Santangelo, Carly Neumann, Margaret Jefferds, Vickie Santangelo and Dawn Santangelo.  Without them this event would not be what it is today.  Thank you so much for your dedication and determination.  You are truly amazing.

“The competition is a great opportunity for 4-H members from the Western NY counties to get to know each other and share some fun.”

If you are interested in knowing more about this and other opportunities that 4-H has to offer, call 585.268.7644 x. 26, Tom Parmenter, Dairy Educator.
