Earlier this summer, Grayce, Ruby, and Daphne Hunigan attended the UTK Animal Science Livestock Judging Camp!

The girls enjoyed learning from experts at the University of Tennessee as they sharpened their skills in livestock judging, sorting classes, and preparing oral reasons.

We are proud of the skills these young ladies developed and the knowledge they demonstrated in livestock! Keep up the great work, girls!
