Contestants were divided into three divisions to compete, including: adults, ages 19 years old and up; seniors, ages 14 years old to 18 years old; and juniors, ages 8 years old to 13 years old. Then, the individuals judged a total of six classes consisting of: Angus heifers, Angus steers, crossbred ewe lambs, fall Suffolk ewe lambs, market goats and market hogs.
