The Carcass Contest is an important part of the livestock learning process. As part of our ongoing educational program, carcasses are processed, judged, and graded according to USDA and industry standards. The carcass data can be used by members & breeders to evaluate and improve their feeding and breeding programs.
Judging live animals on the hoof, like done at the County Fair is very different from judging carcasses on the rail. Livestock Show judges cannot see through the hide of the animal so they must rely on their experiences and knowledge to place the animals. But after the animals are sent to market and the hide is off, that’s when the real story is told,...the beauty pageant is over and the science begins.
