Tate High FFA Livestock, Horse Judging Teams Compete

February 26, 2018

The Tate High School FFA Chapter recently competed in the state Livestock Judging and Horse Judging competitions.

The Livestock Evaluation Career Development Event stimulates learning activities related to the production and marketing of cattle, sheep and swine. In this event, the students evaluate classes of market and breeding cattle, swine, sheep and goats. This year’s Tate team placed in the top half of 90 teams in the state. Team members were: Skylar Smith, Amber Neal, Keaton Fuqua, Bella Nunley and Coach Melissa Gibbs.

The Horse Evaluation and Selection Career Development Event is designed to stimulate the study of and interest in, equine science selection while providing recognition for those who have demonstrated skill and competency in this area. In this event, the students evaluate halter and performance classes of horses. Tate placed eighth in the state out of 50 teams and will advance to the state finals in April. Teem members were Victoria Kelson, Molly Graham, Raven Hollis, Myah Jackobson, Kaelin Brinker and Coach Erin Lawall.
