The Livestock Judging Contest will take place on Friday, October 17, 2025, at the Brazos Valley Fair & Rodeo in Bryan, Texas. Open to all Texas junior exhibitors, this educational contest focuses on the proper selection, evaluation, and placing of various livestock species, including beef cattle, sheep, and swine.
The contest will feature two divisions: Junior and Senior. All participants, regardless of 4-H or FFA affiliation, will compete together within their respective age divisions—there will be no separate organization categories.
Each division will judge eight classes, with three predetermined classes including a set of questions. Contestants will have ten minutes per class to evaluate the animals, record their placings, and take notes for the question rounds when applicable.
Registration opens August 1, 2025, through JudgingCard.com. Don’t miss this opportunity to sharpen your livestock evaluation skills and compete with the best in Texas!
