4-H Livestock judging is an academic activity, as well as a competitive
opportunity which offers those interested in judging an opportunity to
learn and grow within the Livestock Industry. 4-H Livestock judging
members practice to prepare for competition and compete as a team at
regional and state competitions against other 4-H and FFA teams. Members
spend time traveling as a competitive team. Each individual has the
option of obtaining coaching and assistance from the Leon County 4-H
Livestock Judging Coach Mr. Jimmy Richardson or County Extension Agent
Tommy Neyland and 4-H peers. Lessons in responsibility, leadership,
maturity, pride, dedication, and success are all a part of the Leon
County 4-H Livestock Judging program. These values are taught through
competition and hard work and are necessary for the competitor to become
a “true winner.”
