6. Bracing. When the judge
comes up to closely
inspect an individual
exhibitor's animal
and feel along the
sheep's body, the
exhibitor stands
at the animal's
head and braces
the animal so it
doesn't move.
7. Alternate bracing. If the animal is
particularly large and strong, an
exhibitor may use his knee to help
brace his animal.
8. Final lineup. When the judge
has made his selection, he
will begin lining up animals
in the order he plans to give
the ribbons. At this point, the
animals and the exhibitors
face the judge.
