GOODWELL, OKLAHOMA - On Tuesday, November 14th, Shattuck ag students traveled to Oklahoma Panhandle State University in Goodwell, Oklahoma to compete in their annual CDE contest. The contest consisted of several events including livestock judging, ag mech, floriculture, meats, ag communications, farm business management, food science, crop identification, electricity, and a public speaking contest. Several Shattuck FFA members were successful in their respective events. Sydney Melton was 1st high individual in livestock judging.
