Livestock Judging
Brady Jensen All American Judger with second high individual awards
Brady Jensen, Brooke Jensen, Cody Jensen, Courtland and Jake Ohlde, Palmer. KS
North American International Livestock Exposition in Louisville Kentucky is the home to the National Livestock Judging Contests for the 4-H, Junior College, Senior College Contests. The competition is steep and as many livestock judgers pursue their goal to win a National title.
This year was the 87th Contest for the 4-H with 34 State teams participating and 141 individuals. Kansas was represented by the River Valley District Team which consists of Brady Jensen, Brooke Jensen, and Cody Jensen all from Courtland and Jake Ohlde from Palmer. Kansas has been represented at the National Contests since 1919 with no contests in 1942-1945 due to the war and 2009 was one of the years Kansas did not have a team to represent them due to qualifying age of the contestants. From 1919 to 1973 the contests were held in Chicago, IL at the International Exposition and moved to Louisville in 1974. The top three placing teams have the opportunity to Judge internationally at the Royal Highland Show in Scotland in June of 2011. This years Team came within 4 points of winning the opportunity to travel to Scotland to judge next summer.
Kansas Teams have won the National Contest 7 times in the 87 years with the last time being in 1987.
