[QUOTE="Longlowdog, post: 8197078, member: 395"] I've seen a few good judges. I once entered Turriff with two shearlings in order to get cheap entry, preferential parking and a free coffee. I took my tups straight out the field no prep whatsoever and got 2nd and 4th. Talking to the judge as he walked the rows afterwards he said he was delighted to have a couple of natural sheep to judge amongst the bloated show sheep. Of course I would call him a good judge! I didn't begrudge him picking a big name winner as showing is about more than sheep really. My tups would not have been a great advert for uneducated onlookers with their muck stains on their hips and their hairy faces and legs. The shows that provide the facilities need good publicity and a stunning, clean show champ' does a great job of promotion on the front page of the local newspaper, my rough 4rsed boys maybe not so much.
