My darling hubby just got back from putting suff up at the show. He was dissappointed because the deer got into the paddock where we had just baled. He left some hay still standing which he intended to enter his sheaf of oats into the show. Last year he got 2nd place, so he was dissapointed. Anyway he took a quick look at the judging that's already happended last night on the hall exhibits. He was beeming like as cheshire cat when he came home. Not only had he won 1st place with one of the eggs entries he put in and 3rd with the other. He's done that before. But he got best exhibits and a blue show sash. He's never gotten that before.
From our family Nat's the only one to get a blue sash at gidge before, and that was years ago. Ben won a best exhibit at wanneroo years ago with a wood work. I have never gotton one, not yet anyway. It's a special thing to win a sash, they don't come easy. I know some of you might be thinking well the chook lays an egg an it's no rocket science. However it's what you feed them that makes the eggs really good in colour. And you get points for shape and size and even wieght. If all your eggs match wieght wise that helps. Vic gets out some car measuring thing and see's that he matches them all up as exact as he can, he weighs heaps of eggs to get the freshest that match. And I just stand back laughing. Who's got the last laugh now, Good on him. heheh. And Mr paricular baked 4 loaves of bread to put 2 in the show, stayed up 1/2 of thusday night. cause the first & 3rd he wasn't happy with. He got 1st and 2nd with his two bread entries.
