Kaydence Hanhardt, 13, of Durango, with the La Plata-Montezuma Livestock Judging Team, presents her rationale for how she judged a hog. She explains her reasoning to judges Connor Christensen, with the West Texas A&M University Livestock Judging Team, and Brandee Simmons, a parent of one of the participants, during the Rumble In The Rockies Livestock Judging Contest on Friday at the Tucson Ranch near Hesperus. More than 70 children took part honing their judging skills in the annual event coming from as far away as the San Luis Valley and Grand Junction. (Jerry McBride/Durango Herald)
