The final day of judging camp will be a mock judging contest where competitors can put their knowledge and skills to the ultimate test! The judging contest will be comprised of six placing classes and three sets of reasons.
The Standard: Judging is conducted in a fair and ethical manner. Conflicts of interest are addressed and the process of judging and final decision making is as transparent as possible while maintaining the integrity of the process. Effective policies and procedures are in placeand understood and adhered to by all involved. All of those involved in judging and in making winner selections do so with the best interest of the student participants. The decisions of judges are final.

5.1 The science fair will establish written policies that address minimum judge qualifications for each level of judging as well as recruitment and selection of judges per judging tier. Such policies should address how conflicts, perceived conflicts or potential conflicts of interest will be addressed and avoided. Science fairs should use experience and expertise to govern the selection of judges, but should also consider terms of service or rotations to support new leadership and thinking.
5.2 The science fair will establish an acceptable minimum number of judges per project to reach conclusions. A science fair should have a minimum of two judges reviewing any project per round of judging; more, if possible.
5.4 The role of the science fair governance and fair director in judging decisions should be transparent and should not undermine the decision-making of the collective body of judges. This is particularly important if such leadership has a real or perceived conflict of interest via an association with student participants or a competing school.
5.5 The science fair will have a written judging policy that is understood and agreed upon by participants and all stakeholders. This policy will reflect the judge selection criteria and judging process and will affirm that judging decisions are final. It is suggested that parents and students understand and sign such a statement.
5.6 The science fair will have a written grievance policy and process to address concerns raised. This process should be operational throughout the science fair process and should make judgments or address concerns of conflict as quickly and efficiently as possible, ideally before the judging process is complete.
Conclusions: DISCERN is a reliable and valid instrument for judging the quality of written consumer health information. While some subjectivity is required for rating certain criteria, the findings demonstrate that the instrument can be applied by experienced users and providers of health information to discriminate between publications of high and low quality. The instrument will also be of benefit to patients, though its use will be improved by training.
Employers have continuously sought out members of livestock judging teams because of the attributes they develop while participating on the judging team, such as the ability to make decisions, think quickly and aggressively, work under pressure, and communicate effectively.
Students involved in dairy, horse, meats, or livestock judging have the opportunity to travel and visit operations that are leading the industry. You will meet and interact with the owners and managers of these successful operations, providing a better understanding of animal agriculture and giving you the opportunity to develop strong ties with its leaders.
In dairy cattle judging, students rank groups of four animals in a class and, for some classes, provide a short verbal explanation of that ranking. There are usually 10-12 classes in a contest. The University of Illinois Dairy Cattle Judging Team competes in five or six contests in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Kentucky during the fall semester. Team members are generally juniors or seniors. Anyone practicing with the team as a junior or senior will have the opportunity to compete in at least one or two contests.
For those that have little or no Dairy Judging Experience and want to learn more, please consider taking ANSC 215 Section C. ANSC 215 introduces students to the basics of dairy cattle evaluation and dairy judging. Throughout the course, students will learn how to evaluate the phenotypic traits of dairy cattle for longevity in dairy herds.
As a member of the horse judging team, you will have the opportunity to view some of the world's best horses at national judging competitions and improve your decision-making skills and self-confidence through systematic evaluation of classes. The judging team practices and competes in the fall semester, and members are encouraged to take ANSCI 313 before joining the team.
The livestock judging team is open to all undergraduate students at the University of Illinois, although most members of the team have a strong interest in animal agriculture and its related industries. If you are interested, enroll in ANSCI 211 (Breeding Animal Evaluation) in the spring semester of your junior year to compete at the National Western Stock Show, Denver, CO; Sioux Empire, Sioux Falls, SD; Iowa Beef Expo, Des Moines, IA; Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, Houston, TX; and the All-East.
The award-winning livestock judging team has a rich tradition of excellence at Lake Land College. Coach Hayden Wilder leads the nationally recognized team, training them to compete in the areas of beef cattle, swine, sheep and goat judging along with the presentation of oral reasons. The team annually competes from September through March in more than a dozen major events throughout the country, including:
The annual horse judging clinic is back live and in-peson in 2022! The clinic is intended for participants of all experiences interested in learning how to evaluate horse balance, conformation, in-hand classes, as well as performance classes. Interested individuals may include students from 4-H, FFA youth members, horse owners, agricultural education coaches, as well as anyone wanting to prepare or improve their horse judging skills. Participants of all judging abilities and levels are welcome!
Meat judging programs are currently the most effective tool for the recruitment and development of future meat science technologists in existence today. Meat judging is much more than just the determination of the quality and lean meat yield of a carcass or wholesale cut; the program serves as a training tool to develop young leaders in the meat and livestock industries. Judging is a competitive event for youth through collegiate age students and it has a deep-rooted history with the meat industry. Students equipped with a general knowledge in meat evaluation are able to be competitive in the judging arena, but more importantly, will be the individuals that lead our industry into the future.
The Equine Judging Team is a newly established team to the University of Arkansas. Equine judging is a very prestigious event, with judges becoming highly sought after and they can end up traveling all over the world.
The Global Cancer Update Programme provides a comprehensive analysis, using the most meticulous of methods, of the worldwide body of evidence. The aim when judging evidence is to identify, with sufficient confidence to support a recommendation, what causes cancer, what protects against cancer and what is unlikely to have an effect. This work also reveals where evidence is inadequate and further research is needed.
Participants learn principles of wool fiber evaluation through the inter-collegiate wool judging format. Additionally, students learn principles of fiber metrology, objective measurement of wool, quality characteristics, and how quality of the raw fleece influences finished-product development. Team members are required to enroll in the wool judging class (1 credit) and are expected to practice twice weekly during the fall semester with greater frequency the week prior to the National Western Inter-Collegiate Wool Judging Competition, generally the second week in January. Team members also have the opportunity to work with WY 4-H and FFA wool judging teams assisting in clinics and invitational contests on campus.
The Blinn College District is proud to offer a nationally competitive livestock judging program for students with an interest in livestock evaluation. Regardless of their prior experience, students are encouraged to participate in the judging team, and are not responsible for any costs associated with travel, lodging, or contest fees.
Traveling with the team allows students to see some of the most progressive and influential purebred and commercial seed-stock operations throughout the country. Employers often attribute the judging experience for developing and enhancing critical thinking, time management, and communication skills.
Dr. John Pipkin, head coach of the horse judging team, has been at WTAMU since 1992. He is a carded judge for various associations, including AQHA, APHA, NRHA, NSBA, NRCHA, and WCHA. Pipkin is a Regents Professor of Animal Science at WTAMU and teaches classes in Selection and Evaluation of Horses.
Prospective team members enroll in the Horse Evaluation class offered in the spring semester, which includes a spring trip to several major trainers' facilities. During the summer, the team members train and travel to the AQHYA World Show in early August for practice. Before classes begin, the team takes a trip for more exposure to judging. The WTAMU Horse Judging Team practices on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays in the fall. The team competes in three or more major contests, beginning in September.
Livestock Judging offers students a unique opportunity to not only learn about livestock evaluation, but also learn about the entire livestock industry. Young people get the chance to meet the leaders in every given aspect of livestock production and see much of the country during the judging season. In addition to evaluating cattle, swine, sheep, and horses, the team also learns the production schemes behind these segments of the livestock industry. 2ff7e9595c
