There's not much better than an Angus heifer in the barn, a show date on your calendar and goal to learn as much as you can in between.
Judge selection process
The American Angus Association’s Events and Junior Activities Department maintains a list of individuals who have experience in evaluating livestock. To be placed on this list, a nomination form must be completed and sent to the Events and Junior Activities Department to be reviewed by the Activities Committee.
