We want you!

How do I get involved?

The first step is to sign up for Wool Judging course. Students typically enroll in the course during the fall semester. For enrollment assistance contact Dr. Whit Stewart at whit.stewart@uwyo.edu

 

How do I become part of the competitive team?

After being enrolled in the judging class for one semester, you are eligible to be selected as a member of the competitive team that travels to national contests.

 

Does the Wool Judging Team give scholarships?

The UW Wool Judging Team does not give individual scholarships. All scholarships are academic based and are awarded through the Brand of Excellence Scholarship Program through the College of Agriculture. For information please contact Amy Saville Rhoad at (307) 766-4034 or asaville@uwyo.edu.

 

How does eligibility for the competitive team work?

A student is eligible to compete at the national contest if they have been enrolled at UW for at least one semester and maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.25. You have one calendar year of competitive eligibility for wool judging, which starts in January and ends in that same year. A normal judging career consists of one semester of class-work in the fall followed by practice and traveling in the spring. This in no way affects eligibility for any other judging teams at UW.

 

Who are we looking for?

Wool judging is open to all students enrolled at UW. We are looking for hard-working people with a competitive attitude and the willingness and desire to learn more about the sheep and wool industry.
