Livestock Judging 101

What a great time!

Thank you to all the parents who helped with the recent livestock 101 picnic. I do have some pictures I will get up on this site shortly.

Thank you to the kids who participated in this event. The committee hopes that you had an enjoyable time, and learned something at the same time. We had a total of 63 people in attendance.

Thank you to the Hutchins Family for allowing us to host the event at their farm. They continue to support Kent County 4-H and we are fortunate to have them. Also, thank you to Steve Miller, local Hereford breeder, who allowed us to hayride to his farm and look at some steers. John Tigner and Lonni Pritchard continue to share their livestock judging expertise and we thank them for facilitating the judging. Thank you to the Livestock Advisory Committee members who helped in some capacity, either shopping for food, cooking food, helping set up / clean up or in some other way.

We opened this event to the other two counties this year. We had one family attend from New Castle and although one family registered from Sussex they did not attend. Next year, maybe there will be more.

The newly formed team event is going to get interesting very soon. We currently have a 4 way tie for first, we have 5 teams entered. We still have quite a few kids participating on an individual basis as well. This is an exciting year in livestock judging. If anyone would still like to join us, they are more than welcome. Our next scored event will be at Schiff's Feedlot on May 13th at 6:30 p.m. Specific directions/address will be sent out soon.

Thanks for making this a fun time!
