Comments from the Haltered Section judge
Judging the Haltered section of the virtual online IMCS International Show was Chris Ball from Uttoxeter, England, Irish Moiled director in GB. Judges’ comments;-
“It has been a great honour to be asked to judge the Haltered Section of the virtual IMCS International Show. My section included entries from senior bulls and cows down to the calf sections, both male and female and also included pairs and young handlers. I have been involved with the Irish Moiled breed for approaching 28 years. A time that has seen the Irish Moiled develop from being extremely rare to its present position as a breed with a great and sustainable future. This was brought home to me by the standard and quality of all the cattle entered and it is great credit to all the breeders and owners. Each class involved both photographs and videos and must have taken a considerable amount of time, both in haltering and photography. The largest class was the heifer calf class which contained16 entries, all great quality making this one of the most challenging experiences of my judging career”

Comments from the Non-Haltered Section judge
Judging the non-haltered section of the IMCS International virtual show was Mark Logan, Estate Manager of Clandeboye Estate, Bangor. Judges’ comments:- “It was once again a pleasure and a challenge to judge the non-haltered section of this competition. The quality of both the photographs and the videos are extremely important when it comes to placing these animals. It is important that during the video the animal is shown both standing and moving as this gives a much better indication of the animal’s conformation and locomotion. I was once again very impressed by the standard of animals forward and the depth in many of the classes. I felt that there were some outstanding class winners and indeed all the animals put forward are a credit to the breed and to their owners. I would congratulate all who entered this competition and encourage others to take part in the future”.
