The Casper College livestock judging team has a rich history and winning tradition. The championship livestock judging team annually ranks amongst the nation’s top junior college judging programs. Casper College students are continually recruited to transfer to universities across the nation upon completing their education pursuit at Casper College.

Academics are a strong component of the program and our students are committed to academic excellence. With a quality education, livestock judging experience, and support from their advisors and faculty, students can feel comfortable leaving Casper College fully prepared for the transition to a four-year university.
