[Jacob-list] Judges

[Sue Roenke]

Our experience at our 4H Fair the end of July was very good as far as the 
judge was concerned. He was the same judge we had the year before and didn't 
seem to know much about Jacobs last year, he bascially picked the biggest 
one (same as our experience at the NY State Fair),  but this year, the judge 
studied up on Jacobs and he knew so much more of what is standard for 
Jacobs!  We were judged againist Border Leisters.  So, Marie actually won 4 
trophies with her Jacobs this year - never expecting that at all!  Marie 
went up to the judge afterwards and he said he didn't know what she did 
different this year but her sheep looked much better.  She ahs been grazing 
them with Premier electric fencing so maybe that helped, but I think also 
having him study about Jacobs made a difference too!  One of the questions 
he asked Marie was where was the secetary of the JSBA live, which of course 
she knew. :-)
