NOTICE: The judging contest has been rescheduled for Thursday, October 18th!!
The Poland Angus Ranch 4-H and FFA Judging contest is held the second Wednesday of October each year. Next contest: October 10th, 2018. Students from across Kansas come to judge classes of cattle based upon EPDs and specifically written scenarios.
The first judging contest was held at Poland Angus Ranch in October 1993, and had just 30 participants. At the 2017 contest, PAR played host to 290 students; including 4-Hers and FFAers.
This is what 375 students looks like!Before the judging contest begins, Richard takes a few moments (or more!) to brief the students on what traits he looks for when managing his herd. Based on recent attendance numbers, it’s a good thing he’s comfortable in front of a crowd!
Richard talking over his philosophies with the judgers.
The next contest is scheduled for October 10, 2018. Contact Richard to sign up your judgers.
