4H Live Stock Team competes at State

The Hansford County 4H livestock judging team competed at the state competition on the campus of Texas A&M University June 5. The top 14% of the counties in Texas qualify for the State Contest via 12 district contests. Out of those that qualified, Hansford ended up as the 7th place team in swine and 20th place team overall. The team members competing for Hansford County were Kip Pittman, Spencer Aborn, Kinley Shieldknight, and Alayna Schneider. Aubree Sharp and Mallary Allen travelled with the team as alternates. The kids got a ton of experience on the workout trip down to the contest and hopefully this will pay off in the future. The team members and coaches will now start building for next year's team with several of the 4H members participating in summer camps and contests.
