The team evaluated breeding and market hogs, presented oral reasons, and had the opportunity to network with swine producers and industry leaders.

The team placed seventh overall, and sophomore Brady Farris was recognized as the 10th high individual overall in the community college division. Members of the NCMC Livestock Judging team that competed are Allena Allen from Trenton, MO; Brady Farris from Novinger, MO; Hunter Heussner from Braymer, MO; Keaton O’Dell from Braymer, MO; and Montana Plattner from Chillicothe, MO. The team is coached by NCMC Agriculture Instructor Jack Green.
