For collage livestock judging you will be put onto a livestock judging team. To be a better judge and get more job offerings you need to go to collage all four years and judge all of them years, it is the best way to get your name out there to get more judging jobs School to Attend There are many school across the county that you could attend to judge livestock. When I go to collage and judge livestock, I want to do the transfer program, where I would go to a JR. collage first and then transfer to a bigger school for two years. For junior collage I am looking at either Black Hawk East or Jolliet Junior Collage, and then transfer to Texas A&M, Oklahoma State or Kansas State. Degree Needed
5. The cost of school can vary in many different ways. When I get ready for collage and found the ones that I know that I want to, hopefully I can get a judging scholarship and get a free ride through school. To attend Texas A&M for a semester is around 14,000. $ cost of schooling $
6. I want to raise cattle and judge livestock because, that is all that I have grown up around. I don’t know what I would do without livestock in my life. I have always had a passion for it and always will. I never really use to want to judge before though, but then my brother went off to collage and he went to judge livestock, and hearing about all the good times him and his teammates had, and how much he got out of it, and how much he had learned. After judging in collage he got so many opportunities to go places and judge like the Organ State Fair, and many county fairs in all different states. That made me want to judge even more then. Why do I want to do it?
