Club Reporter: Judging Practice Day

On April 5, 2026 we had our 4H judging practice day starting at 9:30 and ending at 2:30.  Starting off we judged sheep, “Texel yearling ewes and Canadian Arcott yearling ewes” the junior members did written reasons and the senior members did oral reasons and written reasons, everyone got a pretty high score so congrats to that. Next we learned how to judge dairy cows with Nicole Ball being the judge. So thank you Nicole for judging and teaching us how to judge sheep and dairy cows.  Following that we learned how to judge swine from Lloyd Main.  Last but not least we got taught how to judge horses by Joyce Marchant learning about their different features.  I would like to thank FCC and our sponsors for supporting us and I would also like to thank our judges for teaching us about the different animals and for coming and taking the time to teach us. Last but no least a huge thanks to Dan & Rebecca Heslop for hosting at their Wild Rose Ranch.  I would say that day was a great success.5, 2026 we had our 4H judging practice day starting at 9:30 and ending at 2:30.  Starting off we judged sheep, “Texel yearling ewes and Canadian Arcott yearling ewes” the junior members did written reasons and the senior members did oral reasons and written reasons, everyone got a pretty high score so congrats to that.
