I was interested is showing my sheep - zwartbles - but got put off when I was told by an experienced exhibitor to start stuffing them full of food before the large early shows entries closed and to keep them eating as much as possible for the whole show season.



Oh dear! Not just horses then, why on earth do judges think fat animals are better.
