FFA Students Competing at Border Wars Monday

High school students from Wyoming and Montana will compete in the 20th annual Border Wars event this upcoming Monday at Sheridan College. The competition allows students to prepare for their respective state FFA competitions in the spring, compete with high school students in neighboring states and experience agriculture programs at Sheridan College firsthand.

Over 300 students from 30 schools will compete in four categories: Agricultural Sales, Farm and Ranch Business Management, Environment and Natural Resources, and Vet Science for $4,000 in scholarships and over $750 in prizes. Vet Science, in its third year, is again the most popular category with over 100 students participating. 

Many of the events will be held in the Bruce Hoffman Golden Dome to allow for record attendance. Local agriculture and natural resource professionals and current Sheridan College students will judge the competitions. A virtual awards ceremony will be held on March 8 and awards will be sent to the winning individuals and teams following the event.
