Hillsboro Great Oaks FFA

This Hillsboro Great Oaks FFA chapter attended the annual Wilmington Aggies livestock judging contest, not only did our members compete in judging livestock but also dairy cattle, agronomy, poultry, and equine management. Our Agronomy team placed 8th overall, our general livestock team placed 4th overall. Besides our amazing teams who did a wonderful job, we also had many individuals who placed well too, including Grace Allen placing 28th for Agronomy, Chase Hurtt placing 55th overall for dairy cattle, and Claire Wikle placing 19th overall for general livestock. 

Each of these individuals along with their teams spent time studying for this judging contest and expressed their judging schools against many individuals throughout the state. Congratulations to each of these teams and individuals who did a wonderful job.
