• The team first traveled to Wichita, Kansas, then finished sixth at the American Royal in Kansas City. They visited livestock farms in Kansas and Missouri before heading to Ames, Iowa, where they practiced judging the herds at Iowa State College. They stayed briefly at the University of Minnesota and the University of Wisconsin before heading to Chicago. Blizzard accompanied the men, but he focused his attention on the livestock, while the team examined horses, beef cattle, sheep, hogs and varying classes of animals within each group.
• The team reached Chicago on Thanksgiving morning. That afternoon they watched future legendary NFL player Red Grange appear in his first professional football game. They relaxed on Friday and went to the stockyards early Saturday morning. The judging lasted until 9 p.m., and the men returned to their hotel thinking they had finished in second place. At 2 a.m. Sunday, they were notified they had won.
• The OAMC team scored 4,459 points out of a possible 5,000. The team was first in judging horses, third in cattle, fourth in sheep and seventh in hogs. Seniors Louis E. Hawkins and Charles W. Weathers tied for seventh place overall with individual scores of 902. Junior William D. Gray and seniors Harland R. Hamm and Raphael E. Herndon completed the scoring with an 885 average.

The past two years Aggie judgers have placed first in the intercollegiate livestock judging contests at the International and have returned to Aggieland with the huge bronze bull given by the Chicago Stockyards Company. Since competition has developed at the Exposition, A. and M. boasts of being the only school to win first place two consecutive years. If the team of 1927 equals the records established the last two years, the trophy will come to Stillwater as permanent property of the College.

James Culbertson, high man in 1926, scored more points than any individual ever entered in intercollegiate livestock judging contests at the Chicago Exposition.

According to a statement from the Office of the President of Oklahoma A&M College, the college's stock judging team was disqualified from the International Livestock Show in Chicago because one of the team members waved to a friend in the stands while the teams were in the arena between judging livestock. The technical violation was complained about by the coaches of Nebraska and Purdue, who were also in the arena with their teams. The entire Oklahoma A&M team was disqualified for this technical violation. The Oklahoma A&M College president's office said that the student's gesture was just a friendly wave and was not related to the judging in any way. They also said that they believe the penalty was overly harsh for such a minor infraction.
