Update from FFA...Go Dukes! Cumberland HS Duke Nation please help me in congratulating our CHS FFA livestock judging teams. This year we had four teams, 3 senior and 1 Jr team attend the Block and Bridle Club Livestock and Stockman's Contest at Virginia Tech. This year record attendees were present with over 415 teams and 1,200 individuals representing 4-H and FFA from every corner of the state of Virginia. Our CHS Dukes teams finished with respectful team placings of 17th, 24th, 25th, and 43rd out of over 400 teams. Our top three livestock judges were Walker Hearn (416 points), William Fleenor (401 points), and Madilyn Adkins (400 points); a perfect score is 500 points. Our JR Team was 8th overall in the swine category as a team. Mr. Hearn, the top scorer on our team, was competing for the first time and ended up placing 33rd overall individually with only 50 points between him and the 1st place high individual. All together over half of our team members were competing for the first time and I am very proud of each one of these young men and women. looking forward to watching them as they grow more confident, more sure of their abilities, more hungry, and more competitive. If you see any of our livestock team members please congratulate them on their hard work and helping Ag continue to grow in Cumberland County.
