[QUOTE="Longlowdog, post: 8198175, member: 395"] Gentlemen, gentlemen, lets not forget we are talking about showing here which is not about selling the same tups. Shows are sheep on the day hence judges are not given performance figures or anything else which might sway their opinion. Judging is about which of the over fed, bat fastards the judge would reluctantly take home from those gathered if he really had to. I saw a judge move a sheep down 4 places when an exhibitor grabbed his arm during the line walk to try to give him a five minute lecture on why this sheep was clearly the best and how the judge would have to be an idiot not to make it breed champ. There might be an argument that shows at breed sales should be more commercially focused but even that is overshadowed by the idea that the biggest sums are paid by breeders of the same breed and not by folk wanting a commercial tup. Who has ever paid 30 grand for a commercial tup to cover mules and Shetlands? [/QUOTE]
