OSU Livestock Judging Team
03/05/2026
As we wrap up with our 50, 25 and 10 year anniversary team highlights this week, we wanted to take time to introduce the ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ข๐ฏ๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐จ๐๐ค ๐๐ฎ๐๐ ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐๐๐ฆ which will be recognized at the Scarlet and Gray gala. This was a group that many of us have remained familiar with whether you have purchased a lamb or show pig from some and/or listened to a familiar voice on a podcast or two. I think it is safe to say that this groupโs passion for good livestock and this industry alike has certainly helped transform their time not just on the team, but in their careers over the last ๐๐๐๐๐๐.

2025 has been a year full of many firsts! For the first time, the collegiate judging contest took place on the green shavings in Freedom Hall. Very proud of the growth and how far each of these students have come since our first winter workout. These six evaluators are not only great young people, but also have great futures ahead. We cannot wait to see what is next for this group!

๐ Livestock Judging ๐
Our second livestock judging contest will be held this Sunday, June 1 at 9 am. Kids should be up near the ring at 8:45 am to get their 2 placing cards.
Make sure to have something to write on and write with. We ask that parents stay out of the stands as the older members will help our younger members during the contest.
We would like to thank The Ohio State University Livestock Judging Team and Coach Matthew Chaney for donating banners for the Top 3 High Individuals in each age division to be awarded this Sunday. ๐
