Texas Tech's Department of Animal & Food Sciences has some of the most successful competitive teams in the United States. Now, the department is trying to add another. The Academic Quadrathlon team got its spring season off to a good start in just its second year of competition, winning the Southern Section AQ competition at the Middle Tennessee Research and Education Center in Spring Hill, Tennessee.
The Texas Tech University meat, livestock and wool judging teams in the Department of Animal & Food Sciences began the 2017 competition season with a solid outing at the National Western Stock Show in Denver. The Meat Judging and Wool Judging teams earned first place in their respective competitions while the Livestock Judging Team finished just two points out of first place behind Texas A&M University.
