Love to see real examples of breeds so we can compare to our own. Great to see how the Judges of turkeys at the National had written up the reasons for their placings.
Could do with more of this so newbies like us can understand the judging.

Meeting all the people showing and having a good chat to them about the birds, Winning things is always fun too. ALways go national and the federation plus all my local little shows. breakfast are always too pricey at the big shows and also at the little shows I always seem to win something in the raffle making new contacts is always good as you never know when they become useful hope to meet some of the people off here at some of the shows.

My Favourite show has got to be the federation! But i also love the smaller agrictural shows (we have quite alot, as we are in Cumbria). I love to exhibit and seeing what my birds have won, weather its a 4th or a placement on championship row. But the thing i love to do the most is judge! I have judged on numerous occasions and have just been recently to judge the eggs (last year over 150 entries) and the junior classes, at the Border Union Show, which is held in Kelso, in Scotland, in July time
