The Livestock Judging Team from the department of animal science in the Dale Bumpers College of Agricultural, Food and Life Sciences was ranked as the Top Overall Team at the 2013 Arizona National Livestock Show on Dec. 20, 2012.
The team won every division and five of the top 10 Overall Individuals were from the University of Arkansas team. Ranking students include Caleb Russell, Brittany Smith, Lindsay Bowman, Morgan Watts, and Bryce Brummet.
The Arizona National Livestock Show presents an annual show bringing in 1,700 of the nation’s best cattle, horses, sheep and swine to compete for over $66,000 in prize money and awards. FFA and 4-H exhibitors compete in the Junior Divisions. Competitions include livestock judging as well as showmanship, public speaking and parliamentary procedures.
During the Junior Show the Junior Market Auction takes place, where the top placing 135 market animals are offered for sale. This allows the hard-working young men and women an opportunity to be financially rewarded for their accomplishments.
