The Texas A&M University Livestock Judging Team is built around hard-working and intelligent students who represent the Department of Animal Science at judging contests across the nation. Through reparation and competition, the students gain skills that will aid them in livestock evaluation, their future careers, and life. For those interested in the livestock judging program, it is important to enroll in both ANSC 215 as a sophomore and ANSC 315 as a junior. The following spring and fall of your junior and senior year the team will compete in 11 contests in eight different states.
The livestock judging team is a group of passionate and dedicated students who train for success to reach their personal bests. The goal of the team is to represent Texas A&M University by succeeding on a national level, it is also equally important to the team to equip themselves with skills and experiences to benefit their futures.
