Livestock judging results

Last week we went to Texas A and M Commerce for our livestock judging contest. It was a 2 hour drive there and a 2 hour drive back. It was awful. We had to take an old school bus. Anyways back on topic, when we arrived at the contest there were tons of people. There were about 69 schools there  so it was pretty crowded. 

We arrived at the indoor arena at 8:00 am, thinking that we were running late. We rushed there and barley had time to pack our stuff before we left the hotel. Anyways, the girls stayed at one hotel and the guys stayed at the other. We arrived there first of course because girls take FOREVER to get ready. We were waiting there for an hour before they finally arrived. They were actually on time and we were super early because the contest actually started at 9:30.

Whenever the contest started we had about 12 classes to judge.

As a group we did terrible, but as an individual I did pretty good. Out of 600 people I got 106 and one of my teammates got 130. That is pretty good considering that this was our first time to do this contest and that we only had 3 weeks to study. Hopefully we will keep getting better and better, and next year we should do a lot better.
