The judging was coordinated by Shannon Peterson, Paul Peterson, Sarah Fanning and Taryn Vonderschmidt.
They said it would not have been successful without the great partnership with Darr Feedlot, Inc., and the volunteers that gave their time to put on the event including Mitch Ziebell who lined up the bulls.
The livestock judging coaches were Eric Miller, Cozad; Tigh Renken, Bertrand; and Dylan Russman, Bertrand.
