The DeWitt County 4-H Livestock Judging Team will proudly represent DeWitt County, the state of Texas, and the United States at the international Royal Highland Show (RHS) in Edinburgh, Scotland, this June. Founded in 1822, the Royal Highland Show is celebrated as the largest showcase of Scottish agriculture.
The four-member team consists of Jackie Finney (17, Cuero), Wyatt Luddeke (16, Cuero), Nathan Oakes (Cuero, currently attending Blinn College in Brenham), and Percy Torrez (16, Nordheim), with coaches Amanda Luddeke and Stacy Finney as the team's backbone.
On January 10, the team won 1st place at the Western Nation-al Roundup (WNR) in Denver, Colorado, which vaulted them to the international Royal Highland Show in Scotland. This tight-knit group has been showing and judging livestock since third grade, consistently winning competitions.
