4-H Judging

Who’s judging?

Saskatchewan’s 4-H program said judging is an important life skill that teaches the process of evaluation and how to identify important characteristics that can improve quality in an item or animal.

Judging can be fun and challenging. It’s also be very rewarding.

This was a case for the man making a lot of decisions at this year’s Melfort Ag Society Regional Beef Show and Sale this past weekend.

Alice McFarlane with Ag Access spoke to Craig Wilgenbusch from Halbrite, Saskatchewan as he finished judging the steer competition on Monday.
