They had a really good day.” To qualify for nationals, the team first had to win the title of livestock judging state champions at the Oregon State Fairgrounds in August. During the national competition at the Indiana State Fairgrounds, com- petitors judged a variety of livestock including steer, cattle, sheep and swine and explained their reasons behind each selection. Also feeding into the team score was a written test and mar- keting trial. According to Puller, they introduce the ideas of premier leadership, per- sonal growth and success within their classrooms and through FFA they are able to develop student’s soft skills such as public speaking.
