Members were given a good
insight into Stock Judging at Thursday’s club meeting. Experts from the Dairy,
Beef and Sheep industries taught members how to judge stock in preparation the
busy competition season this summer. Roger Goodman (dairy), Tim Bastard (beef)
and Stuart Cornelious (sheep) taught
members of Launceston YFC what to look out for in a good ‘stamp’ of animal, and
how to give reasons for their opinions to a judge. They explained that the key
to good stock judging is being able to explain your choices simply and clearly,
using the correct vocabulary.
The evening was educational
and encouraged all members to try their hand at stock judging. Forthcoming
competitions are included at Competitions Day (26th May) and Royal Cornwall Cornwall
Many thanks to Roger, Tim
and Stuart for sharing their knowledge with the club.
