4-H Livestock Judging at the National Contest

Author: Steven Austin

Planning Unit: Animal and Food Sciences

Major Program: 4-H Youth Development Programming

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

After months of travel and training it comes down to four individuals that get to called the Gold Team.  Five individuals were kept out of eight to push each other to become the best.  After a very inspirational message from an unexpected source the decision was made on who the Final Four would be to compete at the National Contest.  Now this could have caused a major issue, however everything we had been working on for the past three years came together.  One individual could have left, just packed up and left, however, that is not the case.  That individual became the encourager, the helper of others.  Four individuals from that team will be known as the Gold Team and join the Legacy Team list, but there is one individual who showed the true meaning of being apart of the group.  As an added, bonus the Team placed fourth overall at the National Contest.
