Rhinebeck 2001/ Ist Annual ISBONA Show and Sale results

There were 10 different classes in this event: 1) colored junior ewe, 2) colored, 3) yearling ewe colored, 4) junior ewe white, 5) yearling ewe white, 6) junior ram colored, 7) yearling ram colored, 8) stud ram colored, 9) junior ram white, 10) yearling ram white. Horned and polled animals showed together in the various classes. The whites and colored animals were not judged against each other.

There were 4 Champion classes with a Champion and Reserve Champion in each class: 1) colored ewe, 2) white ewe, 3) colored ram and 4) white ram.

The judges were Gudmundur Johannesson and Fanny Lárusdóttir from the SOUTHRAM AI station. They evaluate many of the sheep in Iceland for farmers to help to improve the breed. They may evaluate 500 sheep in one day. They used a tape measure and felt the sheep over the shoulders and back. The sheep were given a score in 9 areas with a possible score of 10 in each category except the leg score which is doubled with a possible 20 points given. Since the legs have the greatest amount of high value of meat it receives double points.

The areas scored were: head, neck and shoulders, chest and C (circumference of the girth??), back, loin, legs (doubled score), wool, feets (their spelling, I like this!!), Harm. (harmony or how well the whole fits together) then a total.

Example: #61/ SRX813L below scored: 8.0 for head, 8.5 for neck and shoulders, Chest and circumference 8.5, back 8.5, loin 8.5, legs 17.0 (8.5 doubled), wool 8.0, feets 8.0, harmony 8.5, total score 83.5

We were told that 8.0 was good and anything under this score has some kind of fault in that area. The emphasis in Iceland is for meat production and a high value carcass.

The Judges were suited in white protective coveralls and shoe covers, which shows their commitment to disease prevention. They were trying to keep from bringing anything back to Iceland with them on their clothes and shoes.
