Livestock Judging

In this project, youth learn how livestock producers and breeders evaluate the form of their animals with their function to produce high quality saleable products to their customers. Youth will analyze individual animal traits, of four animals presented together as a class, to each other and to an accepted ideal for that species. Then, youth will rank each animal in the class and communicate their reasoning as to what order each animal was placed. Livestock judging events require youth to:
  • Possess breeding and market animal industry preferences; while making accurate and complete observations
  • Compare and contrast individual animals to others in class; and make decisions within an allotted time and communicate their reasoning effectively to others.
