[QUOTE="Ryan, post: 415452, member: 615"] I would [b][u]never[/u][/b] go through the barn before the show. That is probably one of the worst things a judge could do before the show. I know most everyone that will be showing in the show, so I will already have to be on top of my game just to make sure nobody thinks I play any favorites (although, if you really know me, I would never do that). Thanks for the advice, tips, hints, etc... I know what I like in a judge, but its always good to hear other peoples' perspectives. As far as consistency goes... My ideas of consistency aren't always the same as others. I'll see a judge that might pick the classes all day from heaviest to lightest, biggest frame to smallest, prettiest to ugliest, or whatever to whatever and then the people will say "Atleast he was consistent"... but when you think about it, anyone could have picked them like that. There is one judge that I really like, and he is one of the best at having a championship line-up and have them all not of the exact same "type". He says that just because the animals are of a different "type and kind'' doesn't mean they were not the best in their respective classes. I've seen judges but the 2nd best animal in the class in 3rd, because the animal that did get 2nd more closesly matched the "type" of the 1st place animal, eventhough it was not the 2nd best animal in the class. Sometimes I think that what most people consider consistency is overrated. The best animal is the best animal, regardless of type. Although, I do hope i can consistently place the animals throughout the day, from number 1 all the way down and look like i know what i'm doing, and have it make sense to people.
