Livestock Judging: A Powerful Skill

Why is the 4-H Livestock Judging Program important to Texas?

A senior in high school sits in English class.  He confidently scans the room, making eye contact with girls and cracking jokes.  As a captain of the football team he lifts weights, drives a strong 1967 Chevelle, and just broke up with the cheerleading captain.  Life was good until the teacher asked him to stand and read from Macbeth.   He could feel his confidence folding like a lawn chair, with his voice cracking and sweaty hands shaking, he labored over the words.  His peers looked down trying not to watch the all too slow car wreck in public speaking.  I am told this was a socially disastrous and positively humbling experience.
