Somewhat Interesting Livestock Judging Stat
Jeff All of the results from the Texas state 4-H livestock judging contests since 2005 are available online through JudgingCard.com.
In that time, there have been 56 classes.
Prior to this year the lowest average score for a class was 40.33 and there were only a small handful of classes with average scores under 43.
The average score of the class 5 lambs this year was 36.29, a full 4 points lower than the previous record low average score for a class.
More kids placed the #3 lamb in that class 3rd or 4th than placed it 1st.
