4-H Livestock Events
Livestock Judging
- The Arizona 4 H qualifier for nationals is the Arizona National Livestock Show (ANLS).
- The top four senior individuals will be selected to attend Western National Roundup (WNR) held during the National Western Stock Show (NWSS) in Denver, CO.
- The top senior team will be selected to attend the North American International Livestock Expo (NAILE) in Louisville, KY.
- Eligible competitors must choose to attend one national event or the other for Livestock Judging; they may not attend both WNR and NAILE.
- If one of the top four individuals cannot attend WNR, the next eligible top senior individual will be invited to participate.
- If the first-place team decides not to attend NAILE, the second-place team will be contacted by the Arizona 4‐H office and will have 30 days from notification to accept the nomination as the Arizona representative at NAILE. If the second-place team does not accept the nomination, the third-place team will be extended the invitation to represent Arizona and also has 30 days from notification to accept the nomination. Arizona will not be represented at the contest for that year if all of the top three county teams decline the nomination.
- Individuals competing at WNR are still eligible in the future to participate in the national contest at NAILE. However, once members have competed in the NAILE contest, they are no longer eligible to participate in the ANLS Judging Contest or in the WNR Judging Contest.
