Posted: 11.19.2010

Wisconsin had the National Champion Skillathon Team at the North American International Livestock Exposition in Louisville, KY - a historic feat for the state! 

After Reserve Champion finishes over the years, Wisconsin conquered 19 teams to earn Championship honors.  Bernie O’Rourke, Extension Youth Livestock Specialist said the contest showcased the kids well rounded knowledge of animal sciences.

The team from Marathon County was the winning crew representing Wisconsin. Team members were: Morgan Zernicke, Theresa Bergs, Aaron Zimmerman and Maddy Schwede. They were coached by Mark Zimmerman and Jon and Joann Brubacher. 
 

The team from Grant County that represented Wisconsin, finished third overall in the Livestock Judging contest. This was one of the highest finishes in Wisconsin history. 

This contest was held during the North American International Livestock Exposition in Louisville, KY. Livestock teams judge classes in breeding and market of Beef, Sheep, Swine and Goats as well as answering questions and giving reasons to explain their thought process. 
 
“This is a tremendous finish for a great group of youth and their coach who has trained many teams,” states Bernie O’Rourke, Extension Youth Livestock Specialist. Team members were: Kelli Retallick, Shea Esser, Amanda & Brian Patterson. They were coached by Dennis Patterson and Alicia Prill-Adams. 
 
With this finish, they were awarded the opportunity to travel to Europe to judge and attend the Royal Highland Show in Scotland, June 2011.
