Livestock Judging is a contest that comprises of evaluating large animal livestock for specific breed and market characteristics, and then giving “oral reasons” to a judge (a speech defending your decisions about your placings). At the contest, students had to evaluate classes for: Market Hogs, Commercial Gilts (female pigs), Feedlot Steers (beef), Seed-stock Heifers (breeding cows), Breeding Does (goats), Market Lambs, and Wether-Dam Ewes (Breeding Sheep). They had to give 3 sets of reasons to judges on Market Hogs, Heifers, and the Breeding Sheep.
