FFA students attend dairy judging contest
Although the weather was cold and rainy, members of Peabody-Burns FFA Chapter attended the South Central District FFA dairy judging contest Oct. 24 at Klassen Dairy in Hillsboro.
The students evaluated seven classes of dairy cows, took a dairy information test, and presented oral reasons to a judge.
Members attending the contest were Andrea Ferren and Jessica Slater who participated in the senior division and Ben Jantzen, Ryan Johnson, and Derek Benson who participated in the freshman division.
Ferren placed 13th individually in the A-team division. In freshman competition, Benson placed 17th and Jantzen was 22nd.
Sponsor Sonya Roberts said all the students did a great job considering the weather for the day. "They represented our chapter and the school very well," she said.
