Coach Giese and team members Marie and Taylor told us about the last year and a half of building up the UWRF Livestock Judging Team, working with local livestock producers and alumni, and highlighting a variety of contests they were able to travel to - good works brought together through their shared love of livestock!  What we learned from Brooke, Taylor, and Marie is that this program is really about developing the student judges by developing the participants' public speaking skills, self confidence, decision making as well as expanding their knowledge and skills in dealing with 4 types of livestock.  Click Read More to read about the speakers.
