Livestock Judging Handbook (4H AJL 20) is a leader-led curriculum consisting of nine activities which follow a step-by-step process that goes from parts identification to oral reasons and finally, scoring a contest. It is designed around the basic premise that judging activities provide youth with an excellent opportunity to develop communication, decision-making and organizational skills.

In EDIS the DLN is 4H 101.
