Last week was a busy and exciting time for students in the Highland FFA and agriculture program! On Tuesday evening, five students traveled to Kirkwood Community College’s Tippie Beef Center to participate in a livestock judging contest for students in grades 6–10. The event was organized by the West Branch FFA Chapter and ran incredibly smoothly.
Our students represented Highland with pride while competing against approximately 360 FFA and 4-H members from across the state.
Results:
🥇 7th Overall Individual — William Longbine
🐖 4th Overall Swine Judging Team
🐄 10th Overall Team
Congratulations to all participants on their hard work and achievements! A big thank you to the West Branch FFA for organizing the contest and to Kirkwood Community College for hosting the event at their Tippie Beef Center.
