From Beaverhead FFA teacher Caleb Igo
This was a huge year for the NILE, maybe one of the best-attended events I've ever seen. Over 1100 4H & FFA members representing 124 FFA chapters and 4H clubs from 9 western states competed Monday and Tuesday in the Livestock Judging, Veterinary Science, Ag Sales & Service, and Horse Judging events. This really was the best of the best from our part of the country.
Vet Science - 2nd place team, consisting of Maddy Broksle, Taylor Yecny, Clancy Setzer, and Katie Johnson all placing in the top 20 individually.
Jr FFA Livestock - 7th place team consisting of Kenndyl Meine (1st individual), Bridget Lovaas, Ashlyn Burk, Eli Johnson, & Madison Ward
Sr FFA Livestock - 13th place team consisting of Katie Johnson (4th individual), Savanna Freitas, Parker Dixon, & Rowdy Mattison
Ag Sales - 17th place team consisting of Ryleigh Plovanic (3rd individual), Josi Ward, Asher Burch, & Tucker Sitz
Horse Judging - 19th place team consisting of Katie Johnson (2nd individual), Scarlett Garrison, Nona Wagoner, and Madison Ward.
