Re: [AlpacaTalk] Re: fleece shows
Heather,
May I suggest contacting Connie Alexander or the Show Rules
Committee. Her email is
aobashows@hughes.
Hopefully she can help you.
The SRC are the folks that can
explain your fleece situation. Hopefully they will be able to
explain what happened or speak with the people that judged, so this
doesn't happen to someone else. I know it doesn't change that your fleeces
didn't get judged, but it may helpomeone else in the future at another
show.

Many people that help out at fleece shows are learning as they go.
Volunteers can make unfortunate mistakes.
It sounds like
someone that was perhaps inexperienced, miscalculated and read the days of
growth as over the max days from shearing date. That would be my guess.
I'm so sorry that happened to you, but I would also encourage you to
contact Connie.
