Texas students build trailers in Houston rodeo welding contest

Twenty teams from across Texas put their metalworking skills to the test during an eight-hour trailer-building contest, where youth participants measured, cut and welded steel into small utility trailers. The teams competed in the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo’s Agricultural Mechanics contest. Each team had four members, who were evaluated on blueprint reading, weld quality, craftsmanship and how quickly they completed the build. The contest connects agricultural mechanics classrooms and labs with the welding and metal fabrication industry. The Agricultural Mechanics Committee provided an estimated $90,000 in prizes for the 20 teams. Teams will take their trailers home to finish fitting them. They can return completed projects to compete in a specialized class at the Ag Mechanics Project Show in March.
