[QUOTE="ochayeman, post: 4308836, member: 12381"] Well said. And you too [USER=2665]@west coast angus[/USER]. I got the priviledge of judging a show this year. Couldn't believe that I was asked - but someone must have liked the stock we're producing. Having grown up very shy I was going to decline it, but my good wife encouraged me and we went for it. I was fortunate enough to do it where I didn't know any of the competitors. So I actually relaxed on the day and judged what was in front of me. I went for qualities important to me, not forgetting the quality of the wool. There was really sound stock forward so it was very enjoyable and would do it again were I ever asked, but I can understand it would take a strong man or woman to judge at a show like the highland or black isle where the judge would know all there. I enjoyed watching Neil Montgomery, Ose, Skye, judging at the Dingwall Mart show and sale end of oct for cheviot tups. After selecting by looks and then studying the short list lined up he actually had the courage to move a tup from about 2nd or 3rd to last in the line because of his mouth (as far as I can remember). This takes real balls to stand by your beliefs even if it might upset the competitiors. Hat off to Neil! Really enjoyed reading this thread. Havent read it all yet - there's a lot to get through, which is amybe a good sign for the popularity of the cheviot. [/QUOTE]
