The Blinn College livestock judging team continued its streak of top-10 finishes, placing fourth at the recent American Royal Intercollegiate Livestock Judging Contest in Kansas City, Mo.
Blinn placed second in sheep/goats, third in cattle, and sixth in reasons at the highly competitive show.

Livestock judging is part of Blinn’s Agricultural Sciences Program, which has one of the most active extracurricular programs in the state.
Blinn offers agriculture classes on all its campuses, with the W.J. “Bill” Rankin Agricultural Complex on the Brenham Campus serving as the program’s headquarters. Students can earn an Associate of Science in Agriculture or an Associate of Science in Agricultural Business, which includes a focus on agribusiness and business. Both degrees are designed to transfer toward agricultural bachelor’s degrees.
