[QUOTE="Keren, post: 687459, member: 3195"] He's a great judge, mainly a steer judge; he walks through the class and comments on each steer, sometimes briefly, sometimes in detail. Its not formal or anything, its just like him talking to himself. Hmm, this steer is pretty light muscled ... he walks on ... this guy's fat scans say 8 and 10 but I think he's leaner than that, might leave him for now ... he walks on ... now this is a good steer, lot of eye muscle on him, fat scans are good, he can go forward (he puts the better ones into the front line for further assessment). He's an excellent judge, he is spot on, knows what he's looking for. He looks at the fat scans but isnt afraid to dispute them, he will put his hand on the cattle and decide whether they are leaner, fatter or the same as the scans. If you have a really large class, you might only comment on the microphone about your top 5 or so placings, however, I think its really valuable if you just walk down the line and have a quick quiet word with each unplaced exhibitor. Especially when they are kids. Just something like "you've got a nice steer here, he just isnt finished enough ... your steer is beautifully structured, and in a few months time with a bit more feed he will look even better ... you've done an excellent job training your steer, well done he is so well behaved ... your steer is prepared so well, good job, keep it up" [/QUOTE]
