Royal Canberra Show News from Sam Robson
Last Thursday I did Junior cattle judging at the Royal Canberra Show. It was a lot of fun, even though I was very nervous once I had the microphone in my hand I completely forgot how nervous I was and did really well.
In Junior judging we start off with classes of animals flecks, steers, limousin. How it works is that animals are already judged and then as a junior judge we have to place them in the right order. I got the steers correct. The flecks we talked about on the microphone and we were marked on points as to what was said about the animals. The limousin were a little bit tricky to judge. You can get a maximum score of 150 points. In the judging I scored 144 points overall which was the same as the competitor who won the Junior judging, pretty awesome!
I got champion Junior judge. I got third overall in the cattle judging (that means out of everyone judging roughly 200 competitors) I got a $50 voucher for winning and I bought a new halter to lead the cattle.
We were in Canberra for 5 days and they were long, hot and hard days. I slept all the way after a big week away!!!
