Six #KSUASI students were selected to participate in the inaugural Top Judge program, held in conjunction with the 2025 San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo.
The program brought together 20 of the nation’s top collegiate livestock evaluators to prepare for future roles as livestock show judges and industry leaders. Participants had the opportunity to sharpen their skills and connect with professionals across the livestock industry.
K-State participants included:
Jacob Klaudt – Beulah, ND
Cole Murphy – Houstonia, MO
Kyla Mennen – Walton, IN
Logan Buhrman – Wisner, NE
Zane Redifer – Blacksburg, VA
Emerson Tarr – Leroy, IL
It’s great to have #KSUASI Livestock Judging Team alumni serving as mentors and helping develop the next generation of evaluators.
