My UK Exploits From 2004 To 2008
This was my introduction to the English Pig Breeders Shows
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.
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.
My next appointment was Bath and West Show in 07
