Keith Glister, professor of animal
science, keeps track of students' scores
each week. Those with the highest
scores represent UNL at judging con
tests. Tori Day, an assistant instructor
for the class, said the university sends
teams to about three contests each
semester.
The next contest is the meat animal
evaluation contest at Omaha on March
22 and 23. Of the class's 18 students, 10
will compete at the Omaha contest,
Day said.
The Omaha contest is unique,
because it "combines all facets of the
livestock industry," Day said. Students
will judge classes of market and breed
ing livestock, as In other contests. But
the team will also judge meats. Meat
judging is not a part of most livestock
judging contests, she said.
Many of the students have not done
this before, Day said. Contestants will
judge several retail cuts of meat for
quality and cutabiiity, she said.
Glister said that although UNL has
never won the contest, which began in
Waterloo, Iowa, in 1SS4, UNL teams
have won divisions of it, he said.
The contest awards individuals and
teams. Day said that to be a successful
judge and team member, it takc3 prac
tice, repetition, dedication and a good
memory.
Students who judge at contests also
meet professionals in the livestock
industry, Day said. Professors, special
ists and professionals from the live
stock industry form the committees
that c.T.eially judge contests, she said.
And last week students continued to
prepare for the upcoming contest. Glis
ter acusted his cowboy hat, checked
his notes and began to tell students
how he placed the class of market beef.
"This steer could be interesting..."
he began.
