Mossman Show seeks Young Cattle Judge
Mossman Show are looking for expressions of interest for a Young Judges Cattle Competition in 2023!
The Fat Cattle section of the Mossman & District Show Society is considering running a Young Judges competition in 2023 and beyond. We are keen to gauge your opinion on this, and to determine if there is interest in younger members of the cattle raising community.
This would involve people between the ages of 15 to 25.
They would be required to judge the livestock in probably three classes of cattle entered in the show, score them using a common score card system, and make comments to the judge on why they have made the decisions they have.
They will receive feedback and advice from the judge on the day, and will also be given prior access to background material on structure, conformation and judging.
Your feedback will help decide if we proceed with this Young Judges category.
We would also appreciate any interested young judges to get in contact so we can start to put together this event. Contact details are as below.
Feedback and expressions of interest need to be returned by Monday 26th June, 2023.
