2012 World Beef Expo Youth Sweepstakes Results

Expo. The sweepstakes competition test the knowledge of youth in the following areas: public speaking, 

livestock judging, herdsmanship, sales talk, photo journalism, showmanship, live placing of their beef 

animal. Youth place individually in each area and overall by combining the youth’s top 4 scores. This
