Elisa Poquette '08 from Northfield was part of the Rice County 4-H livestock judging team that recently competed in the Royal Highland Show in Scotland. The team won a competition in Minnesota to advance to the national competition in Kentucky last fall. The win in Kentucky allowed the team to advance to the International Livestock Expo in Scotland, where they judged classes of beef, sheep and swine. All of the participants stayed with host families who showed the students the agriculture and animals on their farms. Poquette and four other team members spent 13 days in Europe -- three nights and two days in Scotland and the rest of the time they toured Europe.
