David told us all about his family history on the farm before telling us and showing us the sheep and talking through how you would judge them in a stock judging competition.
Afterwards members were treated to a how not to stock judge and how to stock judge!
What is Stock Judging?
Stock judging is a competition whereby you judge 4 animals (either beef, dairy, sheep or pigs) against each other based on how much meat/milk they would produce!
Each pen of 4 animals is labelled A B X Y and members get 10 minutes to look at the animals!
Afterwards members stand in front a judge and deliver their reasons.
They are mark on style, presentation and accuracy of observations!
