Supporting Aurora FFA Livestock Judging Team on their way to Scotland

We are happy to support Missouri youth like the Aurora FFA Livestock Judging Team. The Aurora FFA Livestock Judging team of Hayden Fisher, Colton Spencer, Taylor Janak and Tanner Schnelle represented Missouri at the event after becoming the Missouri Reserve State Champion Livestock Team at the State FFA Convention last April.

At the December competition, the Aurora team earned fourth place overall as it placed in the top five teams in five of the six contest categories.

The fourth-place finish earned the team an invitation to compete in the Royal Highland Show in Scotland and to participate in the 2016 International Livestock Judging Tour.

On an individual level, the team members earned eight honors, including champion swine (Fisher) and champion sheep (Spencer).

As a group, the team has never placed lower than fifth place in any contest.

The team is seeking sponsors and financial contributions to offset the cost of the trip to Scotland. The projected overall cost is $25,000. For more information about sponsoring the team, contact advisor Jim Spencer Jr. at 678-3866.
