Royal Agricultural Society of WA would like to congratulate the winners on FCAS Championship State Final at the 2016 IGA Perth Royal Show KIRA BATTERBEE Meat Breeds Judging LAUREN RAYNER Merino Sheep Judging RACHAEL SPRATT Merino Fleece Judging My love of animals started at a very young age having grown up around them on the family farm. Wanting to learn more in the agricultural area I decided to attend the Western Australian College of Agriculture Narrogin and absolutely loved my time there. Whilst at the Ag College I became involved in the showing and breeding of the stud sheep which comprised of the preparation and showing of the stud sheep as well as judging of Sheep and Wool at multiple country shows as well as Perth Royal, Because of the enjoyment and experiences I received whilst showing for the school I decided to start my own stud upon graduating year 12. Since then I am determined to further my education in this particular industry and am in my last year at Murdoch University studying a double major of Animal Science and Crop and Pasture Science. I believe all these factors helped contribute to my judging and I sincerely thank the Royal Agricultural Society of WA for this opportunity. Growing up on the family farm and studying at the Western Australian College of Agriculture Narrogin has increased my passion for agriculture and sheep. At the College I was apart of the sheep team under the guidance of Colin Batt in which we attended many regional shows. I have learnt many judging skills in sheep and wool and can confidently prepare sheep for showing. Through my success in judging competitions, I have had the opportunity to meet some fantastic people who have significantly helped increase my skills in the judging ring. This support and encouraged has positively impacted my future career aspirations. Having judged merino sheep at small country shows I can now appreciate the ability to judge under pressure. I am looking forward to entering and judging competitions in the future. Thank you to the Royal Agricultural Society of Western Australia for making this possible. My passion for agriculture came at a young age when I would visit the family farm in Denmark, WA. I was always hands on with moving sheep and pressing wool at shearing time. But never took the time to learn about wool. However when I was old enough, I attended the Western Australia College of Agriculture Harvey, where my skills and knowledge for wool really developed. For the first year I was keen to learn everything I could about wool. But then the following two years I stepped back from wool until I was given another opportunity to compete in wool appraisal for the last time at Ag school, which I jumped at. I then went on to complete my certificate III in Advance wool handling. 8

Pen numbers bear no relation to their catalogue number. Once penned, the pen number can then be written in on the catalogue tag for management purposes. Fines may be imposed for failure to comply with this regulation. Prior to the penning of exhibited sheep, no sheep except those entered for competition shall be allowed in the competition pens. 31.3 After being penned, only Breed Society Officials, Exhibitors or their representatives are allowed to handle sheep prior to being judged.

Each animal is given objective measurement points to a maximum of 60 (calculated by the program) and the Judge adds his final structural and personal assessment points to a maximum of 40. The points are then totaled by the steward and the highest point scoring animals are then awarded by the Judge. a) Each breed to be scanned on a breed basis to make a valid comparison of entries in that breed. b) Only entries nominated on the entry form in a scan class will be eligible to compete in a scan class across all breeds. c) A program of scanning relative to judging times will be drawn up and Exhibitors will be called up in order of breeds. 33.
