The Judges Conference will be held at Bickfield Farm , Compton Martin , Bristol on 11th April by kind permission of the Durbin family, invitations will be going out shortly, but if any others with a particular interest in the Guernsey breed would like to attend please let Caroline Cox know beforehand on 01822 870727.
Normally 3 rings of 6 cows and heifers are prepared and a Master Judge is appointed (normally the high scorer from the previous Conference) and each competitor is then marked on the accuracy of their placings and also on their oral reasons.
New Judges who do well are invited to join the Probationary Panel and will often be invited to join one of the Senior Judges in the Guernsey ring at one of the major shows, so as to gain experience and if consistent in their placings will in time be invited to join the Senior Judges Panel.
