Margaretta Youth Compete at Western National Livestock Judging Contest Four members of the Margaretta FFA recently competed at the National Western Livestock Judging Contest in Denver, CO. This team qualified for this National contest by their 3rd place finish in the State FFA General Livestock Judging Contest last spring. General Livestock Judging involves evaluation of Market Beef, Breeding Beef, Market Lambs, Breeding Sheep, Market Hogs and Breeding Swine. Students also have to defend their choices with oral reasons on some of the classes. Ten classes were evaluated at the Western National Contest. These classes included three beef, three sheep, three swine and one goat class. Contestants had to give oral reasons on six of the ten classes. Margaretta’s team consisting of Courtney Balduff, Kaitlyn Eckert, Jerald Fitz and Karli Lane placed 9th overall in the contest. Specifically, the team placed 4th in Sheep, 7th in Swine and 10th in Beef. Individually, Karli Lane was 21st and Courtney Balduff was 28th. The coach of the team is Mr. Kevin Kremer. He is the Agriculture Teacher and FFA Advisor at Margaretta High School. Mrs. Melisa Balduff, Courtney’s mom was also at the competition as a chaperone.
