He congratulated the exhibitors on the well-bred and well-fed animals.
Mnr Haupt, die skaap beoordelaar, het die volgende komentaar gelewer: “Dit was ‘n voorreg om weereens die Dundee & Distrik kwaliteit slagveeskou te kan beoordeel.
Dit is altyd lekker as die standaard van die diere baie hoog is alhoewel dit ‘n baie groot uitdaging is.
Die kriteria wat gebruik was in die beoordeling was dus as volg.
Wat wil die mark (huisvrou) hê om vir haar gesin voor te berei?.
1 ‘n A2 / A3
2 ‘n Karkas tussen 20 – 25 kg
3 ‘n Goeie vleis-vet verhouding.
Die ekonomie is tans onder geweldige druk, dus wil die verbruiker ‘n tjop op die bord hê wat nie te groot is nie. Ek dink dat die Kampioen en Reserwe Kampioen aan al die bogenoemde vereistes voldoen het. Graag wil ek van die geleentheid gebruik maak om al die telers en vertoners geluk te wens met hul puik aanbieding”.
A sincere thank you to the staff of BKB Louwid for their excellent service to the farmers and for conducting the sale.
Farmers are urged to take part in the annual show and look forward to another outstanding show in 2016.
