How does it work?
A pen of four animals either pigs, sheep, beef or dairy cows are labelled A, B, X and Y. Members are then allowed ten minutes to judge the four animals on their confirmation and which animal is ready for slaughter. After they have done so they are then given two minutes in front of a judge to describe why they placed the animals in their order.

Ben Jepps and Charlotte Tomkins represented Silsoe in this competition and had to eat a cricket and they also had to search through a bucket of maggots for screws.
