Bendigo ASBA Corriedale Junior Judging 2012

Geof Prell ‘Gundowringa’  Crookwell NS.W. was the over judge for the Senior Junior Judging this year. He was fantastic, giving the students at their level the fundamental attributes of judging Corriedale sheep. Bruce Hamblin’s team of enthusiastic helpers all took their stations and with Jim Venters on microphone the judging swung into action.
