Assembling a Team
Assemble teams of people with diverse expertise and abilities (e.g. someone with experience with companion animals who has also had reproduction; someone who had A&P, but knows sheep and showed horses). Participate even if you're a freshman or sophomore. Often teams that do well have one or more members who have competed before....plus, it really is fun!

If interested but don’t have a full team, just let me know and I can help put teams together…..
