Judged by Jim Fletcher and Errol Miller.Summation by Errol Miller.Gary Gazzard & Kevin O’Callaghan
A very strong class of birds with quality all the way through and a pleasure to judge. We couldn’t fault any of them. When we first stood back to view the birds we selected Cage D owned by Henry George (South Queensland) as it is an awesome bird but just would not showand they have the best condition than any of the other classes we have judged today.
First owned by G O’Connor (New South WalesM Henke (NSW) is a super strong Yellow cock overall bird with outstanding quality, good direction of feather and when releases its feathers, he picks himselfa beautiful brow, cap and outline.
Second owned by Peter Thurn Craig Barmett (VictoriaNSW) is a White hen, magnificent shoulder width and a good showerstrong, powerful hen with exceptional colour and markings. Lovely spots.
Third owned by Ian Schneider (Q’land North & Central ZoneTim Gleeson (NSW) is another super quality hen and very powerful through the shoulder.strong, stylish cock with good blow and cap release.
Fourth owned by J Smith Kruisellbrink (TasmaniaVic) is a very nice Yellow but lacked a little in condition.big strong bird and would have progressed further but had flights missing but not enough to disqualify.
