The Penn State Livestock Judging Team and The Penn State Block and Bridle Club cordially invite livestock judging teams to the Annual Spring Livestock Judging Workout. Please see the letter of invitation and application forms.
The event will take place at The Penn State Snider Ag Arena. The schedule on on Saturday, April 5, 2008 is as follows:
- 8:30 – 9:00 a.m. – Registration
- 9:00 – 9:30 a.m. – Welcome, Contest grouping and instructions

Each team will consist of four members with all four scores contributing to the total team score. Contestants in the Advanced division will be required to give three sets of oral reasons. This division is intended for contestants who have given reasons previously in practice or contest situations. Contestants in the Beginner division will not give any reasons; however, a thorough discussion of each class will be conducted in the afternoon to provide beginners with a more thorough educational experience. An organization may enter as many teams and individuals as they desire. Contestants not part of a team may compete as individuals and will be eligible for individual awards.
There will be at least two cattle classes, two swine classes, and two sheep classes. We may incorporate data on any of the classes, and reasons may be taken on performance classes. Contestants will be divided into groups and each group will have 15 minutes to judge each class. There will be no talking during the contest and participants will not be permitted to use judging materials. A lunch will be served to all contestants at the Ag Arena.
Return the entry form by March 19, 2008.A nonrefundable registration fee of $5.00 per contestant must be enclosed with the entry form to ensure an adequate number of lunches. Chaperones will not have to pay for lunch.
New for this Year:
-
