[QUOTE="Bez+, post: 416143, member: 6797"] First thing - Stay out of the barn and keep the friendly chit chat to a minimum. Prevents "the talk" after the show. Second - Take your time. Top to bottom or bottom to top - does not matter in my mind. I used to do top down but have seen it well done the other way as well. Third - Relax. It is your opinion they are after. Not the talk from the stands. Fourth - Have some good questions for each kid - and take note of the answers. It will show who really did the work. Fifth - Other than asking the questions - ignore the the person on the lead. You are judging cattle - not make up, smiles and clothing styles. Sixth - When you are in doubt about two or three animals - or even one - have the kids take them for a walk again. You own the ring. Finally - When all is said and done - have YOUR reasons ready for the explanation of why youpicked in the order you did. At least you will not need a couple buckets of water to wet them down and see what they really look like - and doing that REALLY makes the high priced folks sit up and take notice. Bez+ [/QUOTE]
