Hi. I get the Hereford World magazine. I am in another country and i'm interested to find this out. In the show results, there is aways the animals EPDs along with the photo of the Champions and reserve champions. My question is, does the judge read all the entered animals EPDs before / during the class and does he/she take them into concideration at all when placing, even if it is not the only deciding factor?
For example, would a judge place a great beast with a low value for YW before a slightly less great beast with a fantastic value for YW? Or if a judge had two very alike animals he/she had difficulty in finding how to place them, and one had a light BW and the other a heavy BW, could this be the deciding factor in the placeing?
Thanks for your help?
