The Dalhousie Faculty of Agriculture Judging Team was well represented by eight members who travelled to Montreal for the 69th MacDonald Intercollegiate Judging Competition on February 2 held at the MacDonald Campus of McGill University.

There was a total of 19 collegiate and 4-H teams competing consisting of 76 competitors.  The collegiate competitors were from the Atlantic Veterinary College, Cégep de Sherbrooke, McGill University, University of Guelph, Université Laval, and the University of Alberta.

The competition consisted of crop and livestock categories with crop classes of: Soybeans, Soil ID, Honey, Silage, Livestock Photography, Wheat Sheaves, and Implement ID.  The livestock portion consisted of: Beef, Dairy Goats, Dairy Cows, Sheep, Chicken Eggs, Meat Cut ID, and Bird ID. With five out of the eight members being new to the school as well as the judging team, they accomplished several feats in many classes both individually and collectively.
