In multiple county fairs, the Atlantic FFA participated in several livestock judging contests. The FFA judges animals and how they compare to one another with teams of up to four that give specific reasoning for their choices.
The Atlantic FFA went to multiple county fairs in Adams, Carroll, Crawford, Montgomery, Cass, Union, and Guthrie Counties. Team one saw two second-place victories in the Crawford and Montgomery County fairs. Lauren and Lola Comes, Aly Dreager, and McKenna Sonntag all finished second in the Crawford County Fair. Team one in Montgomery included Aly Dreager, Colton Becker, Lauren Comes, and McKenna Sonntag with McKenna placing in fourth place.
At the Guthrie County Fair, team one finished in third place. Aly Dreager, Lola & Lauren Comes, and McKenna Sonntag was part of the third-placed team.
The Guthrie County Fair livestock judging contest was held on August 31st. Atlantic FFA team 1 consisted of Aly Dreager, Lola Comes, Lauren Comes, and Mckenna Sonntag, they placed 3rd. Team 2 members Frank Freund, Hayden Kleen, Lily Johnson, and Miraylie Stuart, placed 6th. Team 3 was made up of Rylee Harlan, Addylynn Sonntag, Maddy Anderson, and Addie Freund, they placed 9th. Individually, Mckenna placed 4th, and Lola placed 10th.
“Atlantic had a really good turnout for livestock judging this year,” said Lauren Comes of the Atlantic FFA. This contest had a really great turnout over the weekend. McKenna Sonntag was placed in the 2015 deal with her stuff broken so that shouldn’t make a difference here as they already waited for the Force.
Mckenna Sonntag and I placed in the top 25 out of 150 individuals which is really cool to experience and really good to see for Atlantic to get up in the top 25. There will have one more contest in October at Northwest Missouri State University with members participating in several different events.
