The Illinois Central College Livestock Judging Team earned top honors at the North Central Meat Animal Evaluation Contest held February 16-17 at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, placing 2nd Overall among seven colleges and universities and 97 individual competitors.

The contest challenges students from both two-year colleges and four-year universities to apply industry knowledge in multiple areas of livestock and carcass evaluation. Participants estimate carcass merit and market value for beef, swine, and sheep; evaluate breeding animals based on structural and genetic merit; and analyze carcasses in a meats evaluation division. Students also answer questions from contest officials to demonstrate their reasoning and decision-making.
