The videotape presents differences in gilts never before seen on one tape.

A practice class with an EPD scenario, discussion of official placings and cuts and a set of collegiate oral reasons also are provided.

Objectives covered are:

• to define the major factors necessary to select replacement gilts in a commercial operation
• to be able to analyze and interpret a set of performance records with specific reference to positive and negative numbers
• to evaluate and defend the placing of a breeding gilt class

The goal of Livestock Judging is to introduce the desired phenotypic traits, performance records, and purpose of breeding gilt evaluations.
