Away from the cheering foot
ball, basketball and baseball
crowds, other Texas A&M Uni
versity teams are competing and
bringing home trophies, cham
pionships and recognition.
Competition isn’t in the lime
light of Kyle Field or G. Rollie
White Coliseum. Instead, it’s in
meat lockers, livestock arenas and
forests.
The 1980 Texas A&M Meat
Judging Team, for example,
brought home a national cham
pionship, and the 1981 team is in
volved in competition that ends
next spring.
Participants are animal science
majors who have perfected their
judging skills during a series of
weekend field trips to area meat
packing companies.

“When we go to different parts
of the country to compete, we
sometimes tell people we are
there to play softball or some
thing,” said Homer Recio, captain
of the 1980 team. “They think
we re crazy when we say we do
meat judging and that we stay in a
cooler all day.”
Contests begin in the early
morning hours inside a chilly meat
locker and end in the afternoon
after written defenses.
Texas A&M also boasts active
teams for horse, livestock, wool
and dairy judging. These teams
compete across the United States.
The horse judging team has an
enviable record, winning at the
All American Quarterhorse Con
gress three times since 1972. The
lowest the team has ever placed in
the contest is fourth.
“Everyone comes to beat Texas
A&M,” said Dr. Gary Potter,
advisor for the horse judging
team. “We’re always the best-
talking team there.”
Effective communication is an
important part of livestock judg
ing, as it is for horse judging. Stu
dents must defend orally their
rankings before the judges.
Dr. Douglas Wythe, coach of
the A&M national champion lives
tock judging teams, said students
spend long hours practicing their
judging skills and use video tapes
of their oral defenses to perfect
their speaking skills. Texas A&M
has had a livestock team since
1904 and many leaders in the
livestock industry were former
Aggie team members.
In wool judging, Texas A&M
has won in nine of the last 13 years
at the National Western Stock
Show in Denver. Students study
fleeces for such things as fiber dia
meter and yield, also giving oral
