The Foster County 4-H Livestock Judging competed at the Western 4-H Roundup livestock judging contest on Friday, Jan. 6, after earning the opportunity by placing second at the North Dakota State 4-H Contest held last March.
The contest was held at the National Western Stock Show. The contest consisted of judging 12 classes of beef, sheep, goats and pigs and presenting six sets of oral reasons.
Team members included Molly Hansen, Isabel Wendel, Kennedy Wendel, Karlee Lessman. Kylie Skadberg, Trisa Schroeder, Jozey Retzlaff, and Emma Aberle.
The team placed 19th out of 27 teams. Individually, Molly Hansen placed 34th, Karlee Lesmann placed 55th, Isabel Wendel placed 76th, and Kennedy Wendel placed 81st.
During five days of travel, the team was able to spend time practicing and take part in a judging work out on the Colorado State University Campus in Ft. Collins, as well as attend the National Western Stock Show.
The team would like to extend a thank you to those that supported them through their fundraising efforts this fall including their meat raffle and purchasing items at The Market, along with Montgomery Ranch and Spickler Ranch South for the sponsorship of their team jackets.
