IT was a top turnout for the Santa Gertrudis judging assessment school held in Clifton.
Organised with a relaxed format that allowed the 37 contestants to maximise the learning experience, the three day school explored judging techniques for both commercial and stud cattle.
The school provided the participants to expand their knowledge about judging led and unled stud cattle as well as judging commercial trade heifers.
The over judges at the event were Rob Sinnamon, Scott Fergusan, Scott Dunlop and David Greenup.
Earlier the school watched selection and classification demonstrations by highly skilled breed classifiers Geoff Coombe and Russell Gray.
The judging school was followed by all the fun of the Santa Gertrudis Cup race day at Clifford Park, Toowoomba.
