The Eastern Wyoming College Livestock Judging team was invited to officiate and judge the FFA District 12 Livestock Judging Career Development Event (CDE) held in Kimball, Nebraska, to take reasons, and gave the final critique. “This was a great opportunity for the students to see the other side of a judging contest” shared Livestock Judging Coach Dr. Georgia Younglove. “Also, three of the students are Agriculture Education majors and will hopefully someday be FFA Advisors themselves. This was a chance for them to get some hands on experience.”
