Ever wondered what the livestock judging team does before a contest? 🤔

Join Raesa Zelinsky on our story today as she takes you behind the scenes with the SDSU Livestock Judging Team and shows us how they prepare the day before their contest at the Houston Livestock Show. 🐮

Raesa is a junior animal science – production major who keeps busy both in and out of the ring. When she's not judging livestock, she’s serving as the assistant livestock coordinator for Little International at SDSU, secretary for SDSU Block & Bridle and the Prexy Council representative for the Lamb and Wool Club.
