2009 Adams & Lincoln County Qualifiers and Alternates

8/15/09 - from Jennie Wagner

As of August 15th, the following 4-Her's have committed to judging at the WA State Fair.  This is an update for you so you can begin to coordinate rides and plan practices.  I highly recommend judging at the Lincoln County Fair and the Interstate Fair for practice.  Sometimes the contest at interstate is not before state fair. 

I applaud you for your accomplishment; hang in there with this as you move into high school you will have many opportunities to excel with judging and even win some scholarships!

Good Luck! Your Judging Team so far:  Carmen Swannack, Skye Peha, Kylee Wadkins, Grayson Sawyer.

Thanks and I will have your info packets for you at the Lincoln County Fair - in the Arts and Crafts department.  Your packet will have your name on the outside of a legal size envelope!

Call if questions.

Every year county 4-H members are selected to judge livestock at the State 4-H Fair in Puyallup. The following guidelines should be used in selecting livestock judging teams.

Each county is eligible to send up to eight Senior livestock judging competitors and eight Intermediate competitors.

Members will qualify on the basis of their highest livestock judging contest scores from any two qualifying contests held at the following:

It will be the contestant's responsibility to see that the official contest results are sent to the Lincoln-Adams Extension Office.

Judging contest scores will be adjusted to a "percentage of high score basis" so that they can be compared between contests. For example, a contestant earning a score of 263 in a contest where the highest score obtained by any contestant (regardless of age) was 287 would receive an adjusted score of 91.6% (263 divided by 287).

Teams for State Fair Judging will be filled in the following manner:

1. Eight Seniors having the highest total scores (sum of the adjusted score from two highest qualifying contests) will qualify to judge at State Fair. Qualifiers may compete on teams or as individuals. Senior teams will be filled with Senior 4-H members only.
   
   
2. Intermediates will be selected in the same manner as Seniors. Intermediate teams will be filled with Intermediates only.
   
   
3. Intermediate and Senior alternates will be members having the next highest total qualifying scores. 4-H members having participated in only one qualifying contest will not be eligible to be alternates.
