After scores were posted and after the convention ended, a calculation error was found which impacted all 42 students and 11 teams who competed in the state FFA livestock judging competition. All “oral reasons” scores had been recorded, but not calculated in the overall scores. When this error was corrected, it changed placings. Brantley FFA placed third which means they will not attend nationals this year. We applaud the students' response to this error and know that they have laid the groundwork for future success. Know that there was only a 5 point spread among the top 3 teams with a 49 point drop between 3rd and 4th place. Below are the final, corrected standings.

Hartselle 1489
Holly Pond 1488
