NESA is a livestock judging team that competes against other academic institutions in the New England area at the annual NESA competition. Northeast Affiliate (NESA) competitions are the Student Affiliate Division (SAD) of the American Society of Animal Science (ASAS). We, as a team, compete in 3 livestock/agricultural arenas consisting of: quiz bowl, livestock judging, and paper presentations on research topics. The competition is held every February and the team practices 1-2 times per week.
