[QUOTE="Bob the beef, post: 7468002, member: 20420"] I sometimes get asked to steward the texel classes at a fairly big show. The ewe class every year causes a real stoosie. In the show rules it states that the ewe must have reared a lamb in that season. ( the show is early July). Last few years there have been over 20 ewes entered in the class and no more than 5/6 have clearly reared a lamb. As steward I was originally told that we had to dismiss the ewes that had not reared anything. Cue major strop from many very well known breeders, who threatened to boycott the show in future. Now any ewe can take part in the class and everyone turns a blind eye to the fact. It’s no wonder the texel breed is having such problems with mastitis and difficult lambings [/QUOTE]
