On-Line Livesock Judging Practice
Lincoln and Adams County 4-H'ers may now access a great, on-line livestock judging website called Elite Livestock Judging, where 4-H youngsters and adults can sharpen their livestock judging skills. Access to this web site is by subscription, and WSU/Lincoln-Adams 4-H has purchased a subscription through June, 2012. Currently, there are tutorials on nine different judging classes, and Elite Livestock Judging promises to update the classes regularly.
Because the tutorials are short video clips, a high speed internet connection is necessary to view them. DSL, wireless, or satellite connection should work fine, but dial-up connections will not. If you don't have a high speed internet connection at home, try the school, library, or a friend in town.
Elite Livestock Judging was kind enough to let our entire Lincoln-Adams 4-H livestock program register for a single subscription fee. So that this courtesy is not abused, I ask that all of you to do your best to keep the login credentials within our two counties. Log-in information was sent to the Lincoln-Adams 4-H Listserve. If you did not receive, and are an enrolled Lincoln or Adams 4-H member or leader, contact Karen Robertson or Tom Platt for the Login email and password.
I hope you enjoy Elite Livestock Judging. I would like to hear from you about your experience with the web site.
