Bring your sheep to the show ring and demonstrate the results of the hard work you've put in throughout the year. Conference judging gives you the opportunity to answer the judge's questions about your project while your animal is evaluated on its quality, condition, and how well it is presented.
Before entering the ring, make sure your sheep is clean, properly fitted, and ready to show. Arrive early enough to be prepared when your class is called, and remember that good sportsmanship and safe animal handling are just as important as the final placing.
New to exhibiting? Livestock judging isn't just about having the best animal. Judges also look at how well you care for, handle, and present your project. Listen carefully to the judge's comments—they're meant to help you learn and improve, whether this is your first fair or your tenth.
