Young man and woman from Maryland, all under 18 years old, compete in showing their cows during the Youth Beef Showmanship at the 2022 Maryland State Fair, Timonium, Maryland, Aug. 26, 2022. Youth show their animals and are judged on how well they handle their animal, how well they groom them, and what facts they know about them. The Maryland State Fair provides 4-H youth an opportunity to showcase all of what they've learned through their club, school, camp, and other 4-H experiences. Youth develop life skills while learning about everything from animal science to rocketry, public speaking, and the arts. There's something for everyone in 4-H. The state fair also allows youth to engage with the community and build lifelong friendships. (USDA photo by Christophe Paul)
