You Be The Judge - Angus Cattle Evaluation For Beginners

This 60-minute instructional video covers the basics of Angus
cattle judging. Scott Schaake, judging team coach at Kansas State
University, provides the on-camera instruction. He discusses what
to look for when evaluating cattle and tips for taking notes and giving oral reasons.
Two collegiate judges give sample oral reasons on the video, and viewers
can practice what they've learned on two practice classes, one Angus heifer
class and one market steer class. Official placings and reasons are also included.
This is available on VHS tape or DVD. Cost, $15.
