As we begin the process of reflecting on our 50-, 25- and 10-year teams, we believe this glimpse into the past sets a benchmark for current and future generations. For some, they may recognize a familiar face or an industry leader, but for many, these individuals helped solidify the reputation built over decades at The Ohio State University!

From the red dirt of Oklahoma City to the historic "Mile High" air of Denver, these nine students just wrapped up the ultimate marathon. Eleven days on the road isn't just about the livestock in the ring; itโ€™s about the 6:00 AM wake-up calls, the endless sets of reasons practiced in the van, and the grit it takes to compete at the ๐˜พ๐™–๐™ฉ๐™ฉ๐™ก๐™š๐™ข๐™–๐™ฃ'๐™จ ๐˜พ๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™œ๐™ง๐™š๐™จ๐™จ and the ๐™‰๐™–๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™–๐™ก ๐™’๐™š๐™จ๐™ฉ๐™š๐™ง๐™ฃ.

2025 has been a year full of many firsts! For the first time, the collegiate judging contest took place on the green shavings in Freedom Hall. Very proud of the growth and how far each of these students have come since our first winter workout. These six evaluators are not only great young people, but also have great futures ahead. We cannot wait to see what is next for this group!

๐Ÿ– Livestock Judging ๐Ÿ–

Our second livestock judging contest will be held this Sunday, June 1 at 9 am. Kids should be up near the ring at 8:45 am to get their 2 placing cards.
Make sure to have something to write on and write with. We ask that parents stay out of the stands as the older members will help our younger members during the contest.
We would like to thank The Ohio State University Livestock Judging Team and Coach Matthew Chaney for donating banners for the Top 3 High Individuals in each age division to be awarded this Sunday. ๐Ÿ˜€
