Contestants judge classes of hay, meats cuts, beef cattle, sheep, and swine, and answer questions about the animal classes. They also take a 25-question quiz on information pertaining to livestock. The contest included a Junior Division (4H and FFA members who are 13 or younger on September 1) and a Senior Division (4H and FFA members who are 14 - 19 on September 1.).
