CPoW Beef Judging Contest at JR Ranch in Othello, WA
Cattle Producers of Washington (CPoW) and JR Ranch sponsored a youth beef judging contest on March 17th, 2011 at the JR Ranch in Othello, WA.  There were six schools attending with approximately 45 youth competing for the title.  The attendance was low due to the state mandated testing for all freshman and sophomores on that day.  JR Ranch provided the cattle, hosted the event and fed everyone lunch.  CPoW provided the Montana Silver belt buckle for the high point individual, plaques to the second and third place individual winners and plaques for the top three teams to take home to their schools.  Congratulations!
