In early June, 4-H and FFA members from around the state will be learning from some of the top livestock experts in the state at The Ohio State University Livestock Judging Camp.
The three-day camp is designed to help young livestock exhibitors enhance their skills in judging and oral communication. The cost for the camp from June 5 to June 7 is $250 and includes all meals, lodging and an OSU souvenir. Forms to apply can be found on the OSU Livestock Judging Team Facebook page. The deadline to apply is May 15. For more information contact Hank LeVan at LeVan.27@osu.edu.
