4-H Livestock Team
Leon County 4-H Livestock Judging Team celebrates success! As a team
they placed 5th out of 23 teams at the Aggiefest Livestock Judging
Contest held in College Station, Texas on October 25, 2008. As
individuals Cody Oden placed 12th, Braxton Wilson was 18th and Korley
Wilson was 45th. In the Beef Division (2 pens of Market Steer, 1 pen of
Angus Bulls and 5 Questions) Cody Oden placed first with a score of 165.
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.”
