The students spent many early mornings practicing for this contest. They also studied many different eggs and candled several eggs to prepare for the competition, analyzing the other parts of the chicken and identifying the different cuts of meat.
The students judged seven different classes associated with poultry.
The classes were as follows: Past productions hens, Broiler/Turkey carcass placing, identification of Carcass Parts, Broiler Parts or carcasses to quality grade, Exterior Egg Quality Grading, 10 Bone-in and ten boneless processed products, and Interior Egg Quality (Egg Candling).
