My UK Exploits From 2004 To 2008

This was my introduction to the English Pig Breeders Shows

 

Judging at Yorkshire 04

 

 

  1. This was my introduction to the UK Pig Breeding scene.

In 2004 I was asked to Judge at the Great Yorkshire Show.

Being a Berkshire breeder I was asked to judge that breed. Though not as strong as many Berkshire class's in NZ it was a great introduction to the English type. I have seen North American and Australian Berkshires and I must say the English animal is the closest to the New Zealand breed.

 

 

 

Judging at Westmorland 06

 

 

 

 

My next introduction to English judging was at Westmorland Show

in 2006. Here I judged 76 entries of all breeds. Very much

like a New Zealand show and NZ weather. It rained all day and an

umbrella was really handy but my suit shrunk, well that's my story.

My Supreme Champion was a Middle White exhibited by Geoff

Parker.
