West Luther 4-H Calf Club learn show judging

The West Luther Calf Club held its third 4-H meeting at Hills Hereford and Angus Farm in Rockwood on June 6.

The meeting discussed judging in competitions. Leaders explained what judges look for when competitors and their animals are in the show ring.

Heather Hargrave and Ivor Thurston gave the members a lesson on how to judge beef breeding heifers.

They explained how to properly give the judges reasons, by saying something positive about every animal.

Afterwards, each member had the opportunity to judge four heifers.

Then members judged corn and internet advertisements. The members had to give reasons on one of those three classes.

The meeting closed with a thank you to the Hills for their hospitality and the 4-H motto.
