2024 Washington 4-H State Livestock Judging Contest
This will be our third year hosting the Washington 4-H State Livestock Judging Contest at the Grant County Fairgrounds in Moses Lake, WA. The committee is looking forward to another successful contest year. In 2023 we had 121 participants across the 3 divisions (Junior, Intermediate, Senior) offered. The 2024 contest is scheduled for June 29 and will be held at the Ardell Pavilion, centered on the Grant County Fairgrounds. Contest guidelines and rules with NEW for 2024 updates are attached to this news and notes and are up for viewing on the Washington 4-H website. Additionally, the travel guidelines document and fillable registration forms specific to Junior, Intermediate, and Senior contest registrations are attached. Again, there is NO Requirement for Qualifying, just come and participate.
Remember to read the rules as some items will impact your team’s participation in this contest. There are some simple requests that we ask you to pay attention to, such as the dress code. This is something that was implemented in 2023 and I would say that many met the request with appropriate clothing and accessories; let’s keep this up for 2024! Further, entry fees have increased for this year to cover additional expenses for contest execution. The registration deadline this year for early registration is June 15, 2024. All registration materials signed by the county extension professional (specialist, educator, coordinator, administrative, etc.) will be due by the end of the day to qualify for early registration fees ($40/team; $15/individual). Late registrations that are recorded by the WSUE Spokane County office after June 15 will be accepted with a late fee charged ($20/individual). All fees (check, credit, or cash) will be collected on the day of the contest. Checks will need to be made out to WSUE Spokane County and in the memo line note “State 4-H Livestock Judging”. As a reminder teams and coaches will need to be prepared to identify the contests they would like to travel to by the end of the state contest. If the first-place team has not determined that when asked, then they will forfeit first choice and so on. So, please coaches and parents be prepared before you come to the contest to compete.
Registrations will need to be sent to Robert.kestell@wsu.edu and CC pskuber@wsu.edu by end of day June 15, 2024. Late registrations will be charged a late registration fee. Any questions about the contest please contact Paul Kuber pskuber@wsu.edu. See you on June 29th!
