Stockmans and Livestock Judging Team Results

The Orange 4-H Stockman's and Livestock Judging Teams traveled to Blacksburg for the annual Block and Bridle Competitions on March 21 and 22.  Individual and team results were great!  We are so proud of our teams and how well they performed.  It took lots of time and practice that certainly paid off!
During the Stockman's contest, contestants identified types of feeds, breeds of animals, equipment that is commonly used, cuts of meat, judged swine, sheep, and beef cattle, hay, and meats.  They also had to take a quiz asking questions on basic livestock knowledge, and senior members had to compete a team problem.
For the Judging Contest, the members judged classes of sheep, swine, cattle, and goats.  The senior team also gave reasons on three of those classes.
