Scottish National Results 2016

Saturday 23^rd & Sunday 24^th January 2016

Judge – Jim Finlayson MBE

Dear Members, 
Thank you once again for giving me the opportunity to judge the Leghorn club show at the Scottish National held in my home and bird town of Lanark. 

Once again, there was a good turnout of entries with just a few empty pens.  The quality of the large leghorns was rather moderate with heads letting many of the birds down.  However, the bantams were of an outstanding quality overall – a real honour and credit to all the breeders and exhibitors.   The strongly supported classes of black pullets and white pullets were really “la crème de la crème”.   The Champion (black pullet) was a tremendous bird on excellent form looking her best on the day.  The ones placed behind her (2^nd – 4^th) were also exceptional pullets – just a matter of opinion.  

My only criticism was that some of the leghorns were allocated pens three high due to the shortage of hall space – my steward Mrs Hazel Dickson had to stand on a box handing the birds down to me.

Thank you again for the opportunity to handle and judge such quality birds.  Full results follow.
