2023 Provincial Judging

2023 Provincial 4-H Judging was a success! 

This event, held on August 18 & 19 in Weyburn SK, hosted 41 competitors from six Regional Teams: Lloydminster, Saskatoon, Whitewood, Weyburn, Swift Current, and a Multi-Regional Team made up of participants from all over the province.  Competitors arrived on Friday night for registration and supper, followed by two judging classes: Feed Evaluation and Agility Dogs. The evening was wrapped up with a fun game of music trivia.
 
Saturday consisted of the remainder of the judging classes: Beef Heifers, Light Horse, Breeding Ewes, Meat Cuts, Mystery (Flower Arrangements), and a Grains (Wheat) class provided by title sponsor, Viterra. Thank you Viterra! Competitors then gave Oral Reasons on many of the classes, and the day was wrapped up with an Awards Banquet.
