Dairy judging held in Seaforth
BY TIM CUMMING
Expositor Editor
More than 150 people, world-
renowned dairy judges and a num-
ber of cattle were at the Seaforth
Fairgrounds on Wednesday for the
Western Ontario Dairy Judging
Conference.
It is the first time in 15 years the
event has been held in Htuon
County.
"We've got (some op the top
judges in the world today," said
Andrew McBride, of the Huron
County Holstein Club.
The official judging show is a
chance for future judges to be
groomed. Official judges and aspir-
ing judges stand side-by-side as
they judge the animals or the show-
manship of those showing the ani-
mals.
By maintaining above-average
scores for three years a dairy
enthusiast can become an Official
Aspiring Judge. Three more years
of above-average scores could make
u
that person an Official Judge.
For the fust year the contest
featured not only Holsteins but also
Jersey cows and Brown Swiss.
McBride said the dairy industry is
pulling together for shows like
these to make better use of their
resources.
"A good cow is a good cow in
any colour," he said.
The cattle from Ontario can com-
pete world-wide, said Jim Ginn, of
Clinton. That's why days like the
Judging Contest are so important,
he says.
