The Hinton FFA team made up of Brooks Beitelspacher, Izzy Hodgson, Mady Hoppe, and Taylor DeRocher competed in the State FFA Veterinary Science contest and earned 4th place! This Career Development Event is designed to provide students an opportunity to display their agricultural knowledge and skills in the area of Veterinary Science.
A total of 92 individuals competed in the contest and participated in a general knowledge examination focusing on veterinary science. The team members also completed a written scenario and prepared a video focusing on proper veterinary clinical practices.
We are additionally proud to announce our chapter was the 1st place team in the Clinical Procedure Practicum!
