We hope that members can refer to the pointers provided when practicing to give a Set of Reasons or a Stock Demonstration and that less experienced members can gain some extra confidence to give Stockjudging a go in the future!

Past winners of the ‘Stocksman Of The Year’ competition were invited to participate and highlight here the method, phrases and style that can be used within a Reason Giving/Class Comparison or a Stock Demonstration.

No time limit was used in the footage therefore it must be remembered that a competition Set of Reasons in the Highland Show Stockmanship Programme should be limited to 2 minutes max. with a Stock Demonstration lasting no longer than 2 minutes 30 seconds max. 

 

This SHEEP REASONS video includes a live class of four Texel sheep for comparison:

 

This SHEEP DEMONSTRATION video includes a live 'demo' on one Blue Faced Leicester ewe:

 

This BEEF REASONS video includes a live class of 4 Beef heifers for comparison:
