Arizona 4-H is excited to bring you the Copper State Livestock Judging Series through the leadership of the University of Arizona Livestock Judging Collegiate Team.

Youth (teams) will need to participate in a minimum of three different contests to be eligible for award prizes.

Reasons (Open to all ages)

Both 4-H and FFA teams/individuals are welcome to participate and membership in any organization is required for participation.
