Livestock judging team visits Texas ARM BY AUSTIN HILL East Jackson Comprehensive High School FFA senior team reporter Members of the East Jack- son High, East Jackson Mid dle, West Jackson Middle, and Jackson County High FFA livestock judging teams traveled to Texas A&M Uni versity in College Station, Texas for a three-day live stock judging camp. The members includ ed: Carlie Howington, Cale Howington, Wyatt Chandler, Bella Chandler, Savannah Page, Madison McDaniel, Morgan McDaniel, Charlie Brooksher, Hannah White, Makayla Gooch, Jessie Cron ic and Austin Hill. The group was accompanied by FFA Advisors Josh Whitworth, Kate Wilson and April Davis. The group got a campus tour on Monday before the camp began. Kevin Andrews, TAMU doctoral student, took the group through main cam pus and west campus, into Kyle Field, and shared many of the traditions that TAMU students abide by. After lunch, the group arrived on campus and was greeted by the TAMU Livestock Judg ing Team who hosted the camp. The group attended classes on the different live stock judging fundamentals and learned how to improve their skills when judging beef cattle, market hogs, sheep and goats. The TAMU team taught the group how to overcome challenges while making it fun and enjoyable. Several members of the team were asked to tell some thing new that they learned while at livestock judging camp and to tell about the most fun experience at the camp. Carlie Howington, East Jackson High School FFA president, stated, “I learned how to better evaluate hogs.” Her most fun expe rience was, “meeting all the new people that have the same interests.” Wyatt Chandler, East Jackson FFA chaplin, stated, “I learned new vocabulary to use in my reasons,” and his most fun experience was “going to Grand Station and playing laser tag with every one at the camp.” Cale Howington, East Jackson Junior FFA presi dent, said he “learned how to better judge breeding animals,” and his most fun experience was “to tour Texas A&M and to see Disaster City, the emergency response training center, at the University.” The Jackson County teams plan to take the knowledge learned at the camp into this fall’s livestock judging com petition. The experience will also help the Jackson County FFA grow by showing oth ers how getting involved in these Career Development Events (CDEs) allows stu dents opportunities to travel, meet new friends, and help develop skills in leadership or agriculture.
