of dairy
makes
judging
a great
job
...a dairy show judge
By Scoltt Hilgendorff
Expositor Editor
/ With hand gestures, he
signals a circle of'cI Ives
and: owners to move
forward, stop and move i
again as he carefully
scrutinizes the livestock.
'Mainly it's a' love of
dafiry cattle," said Jeff
Sayles of Paris of why he
. judges calf shows. He was
judging the 4-H daifry
show held Friday at the
Seaforth Agricultural
Society's facilities. /
He has been judging for
about three years now but;
was raised in the dairy
itndustry, growing up
•
involved with 4-H.
He has1even won a few
-first-place ribbons_himself
before moving on to
judging.
"You start in 4-1-I and
'learn M the meetings." he
said abouthow he has.
gained enough experience
tojudge a good dairy calf.
From there, it's off to
judging schools where
students learn the finer
points about how to judge
properly and the specifics
about thc•many different
dairy breeds. -
After . three judging
schools. one a year, if a
person has scored above
the- average score, he or
she can be placed on the
judges list and be called
on communities all over
to judge shpws.
"It kind of comes
na1iifal, he said of= -his -
ability to find the best calf
of the bunch. .
And he's also judging
the owners, watching for
their control of the calf,
how they stand and hold
their halters.
Locally, he judged nine
classes with three
categories involving
"showmanship, or how
the entrant handles him or
herself.
Ttic remaining classes
were focussed on the
calves with Sayles
watching for such things
as how straight the calves
"top lines" are or how
_well the animals stand and
that they have- a large tib
span, a characteristic of a
good dairy calf.
Sayles, who .continues
to dairy farm, enjoys the
judging sideline, not just
for his love of the
industry but for the
strength it builds in public
speaking and the fact he
-gels to travel to different
communities and meet
with different people.
Even coming, to.
Seaforth. there were faces
familiar to Sayles.
