KANSAS CITY, Mo. -
Among the events that
caused excitement during
National FFA week held
Lancaster Farming, Saturday, Nov. 20,1976—31
here recently, were judging
contests. These national
contests are competitive
activities in which young
members test their ability to
select top quality livestock
and animal products needed
for successful production
and marketing. Each team
in the contests have com
peted with other chapters in
their state for the privilege
of attending the national
convention.
Pennsylvanians took part
in several of these events.
One such contest was the
National Poultry Contest.
The Pennsylvania state
poultry team had three
members, two of which were
in Lancaster Farming’s
prime coverage area. They
were Harry Boley, Garden
Spot High School, New
Holland; Kenneth Fox,
Garden Spot High School;
and Dennis Moose from
Mercer High School, Mercer.
These three students placed
top in the state poultry
contest which was held this
past summer at the Penn
State University.
This year the National
Poultry contest included the
following areas to be judged:
egg grading, interior and
exterior quality and egg
breakouts; dressed ready to

cook broilers; dressed
turkeys; identification of
poultry diseases and
parasites; and evaluation of
live laying hens and pullets.
After judging the laying
hens, oral reasons were
presented to a contest judge
which justified the student’s
placings.
In the egg grading portion
of the contest, students bad
to be able to candle eggs to
determine any one of five
different qualities ranging
from AA quality to inedible.
Exterior shell quality was
determined by looking for
shell irregularities, dirt, or
cracks. The final portion of
egg grading consisted of
breaking the eggs out to
determine quality which was
indicated by the thickness of
the white and the ap
pearance of the yolk.
The dressed bird areas
were more complicated.
This year judges evaluated
dressed broilers and turkeys
to determine various quality
grades. These grades run
from A grade to no-grade or
reject. Requirements such
as fleshing, discoloration,
tom skin, broken bones, and
feathering are used to place
quality grades in this class.
